It is anticipated that the Project will consist of 40 MW (30 wind turbines).

Possible turbines are 3.5 MW with total height of 154.5m (507 ft) – rather huge- we do not have any turbines this large operating in Ontario now.

The electricity will then be transported by an overhead electrical collector system to the substation.  (Not good)

Proposed construction in early 2013.

For those of you in Adelaide/Strathroy area, do look at Suncor’s “new” Adelaide map (more detailed than the one below) .

Points to note—people in the North end of Strathroy are now in the “turbine zone”. Eg.: Turbines will be ~1000m to Buttery Creek subdivision. And a biggy–can anyone find the Strathroy HIGHSCHOOL on this map??? Yeah, it isn’t marked as a school, and just so happens to be less than 1500m from two turbines, and many more to the North. I’m getting kind of tired of all our schools being immersed in these turbine dead zones.
