(OLD)Project Documents

From Suncor’s project documents:

 ”The proposed Project Boundary is approximately 21,500 hectares in size. It is envisioned that the proposed Project will include 33 to 62 wind turbines. The number of turbines will be dependent upon final selection of make and model of the wind turbine most appropriate for the proposed Project as well as stakeholder input. The proposed Project would also include access roads, up to three meteorological towers (met tower), electrical collector lines, two substations and a transmission line which would connect the Project with the provincial high voltage transmission system. Temporary components during construction may include storage and staging areas at the turbine locations, crane pads or mats, staging areas along access roads, delivery truck turnaround areas, and a central laydown area. The proposed Project Boundary is shown in Appendix A along with the previously proposed boundary of the Camlachie-Cedar Point Wind Project.”

“Suncor has two proposed wind power projects under development within Lambton County. These projects include the Camlachie Wind Energy Facility, planned as a 20 MW facility southwest of the town of Camlachie, and the Cedar Point Wind Energy facility as described herein. The Cedar Point Wind Energy Facility is proposed to be completed in two phases a Phase I of 50 MW and a Phase II of 100 MW. The Camlachie Wind Energy Facility and the Phase I of the Cedar Point Wind Energy Facility (previously introduced to the community as the Camlachie-Cedar Point Wind Project) were not successful at receiving transmission capacity in the form of a FIT Contract to date. These projects remain at the top of the list in a long list of projects awaiting new transmission capacity called the FIT Project Reserve managed by the OPA.”
