Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) on Aug. 29 said its Buffalo Plains onshore wind project in Alberta, Canada, has delivered first power to the grid.
When the 495-megawatt project is fully operational, it will consist of 83 turbines providing enough energy for about 240,000 households in Alberta. The project is the largest onshore wind project being developed in Canada, the company said.
So far, more than one-third of the turbines are installed. The remaining installation work is expected to be complete in the fourth quarter of 2024, followed by full grid connection.
“The successful delivery of first power demonstrates CIP’s unique ability to execute on large and complex infrastructure projects that will provide local jobs and clean, renewable wind energy for many years to come,” said Tim Evans, partner and head of North America at CIP.
CIP is developing the project with Siemens Gamesa and Borea Construction. The wind farm is located on privately-owned farmland near Lomond, Alberta.
