The project involved the management of the supply and installation of 9 Siemens SWT 2.3-101 MW turbines. The site is located in the township of East Luther Grand Valley in the county of Dufferin.
Final permitting and tendering of the EPC contract took place in late-2010 and early 2011. Construction started with roads and turbine foundations in August and turbines were delivered in November. The project phases both came on-line with commercial operation in March, 2012.
CPL worked with Veresen through the permitting and tendering phase.
