Kent Hills Wind Farm
Kent Hills Wind Farm is a large wind farm project in Elgin, New Brunswick. The wind farm was completed on December 31, 2008.[1] The farm is the first in New Brunswick. It is owned and operated by TransAlta and the power is purchased by NB Power for supply to consumers.[2]
The farm consists of thirty-two 3 megawatt (MW) wind turbines for a total capacity of 96 MW. The project produces 280,000 megawatt hours per year,[3] enough power for 17,000 homes. The turbines used are Vestas V90-3MW model, which have a rotor diameter of 90 metres (295 ft) and sit atop an 80-metre (262 ft) tower.[1]
There are plans to expand the wind farm by adding a further 18 turbines at an undetermined date in the future.[1]
