Acciona Wind Energy Canada Inc. and Suncor Energy Products Inc. have announced they have started full-scale construction on their 76MW wind power project near Ripley, Ontario, Canada.
The Ontario Energy Board recently granted regulatory approval for the wind farm's two substations and transmission line, completing the project's key regulatory requirements. The Ripley Wind Power Project will include 38 2MW Enercon wind turbines, a transmission line and two electrical substations. Foundations for the turbines are now being poured. Pending weather conditions, construction will take a brief break during the winter months. Construction is expected to be complete this summer, with wind farm commissioning anticipated for late 2007.
