Facts about the Bekevar Wind Facility
- Bekevar Wind L.P. owns and manages the facility, selling us the power it produces.
- Bekevar Wind L.P. is a partnership between Innagreen Investments and Awasis Nehiyawewini Energy Development Limited Partnership (a wholly-owned Cowessess First Nation entity).
- Matches size of Golden South Wind Facility as the province’s two largest wind generation facilities.
- The facility:
- includes 36 wind turbines
- can generate an equal amount of power for up to 100,000 homes
- To lower environmental impacts from the construction of wind farms — like birds and bats flying close by — the facility is built in an area with fewer migration paths and less vegetation.
- The concrete used to build the turbine foundations includes 3,141 tonnes of fly ash, a coal byproduct sourced primarily from Boundary Dam Power Station.
