Beothuk Energy (Beothuk) has announced the preferred site for its previously announced demonstration offshore wind farm. Beothuk is proposing to build and operate an offshore wind farm in St. George’s Bay, western NL.
The farm will consist of up to thirty turbines. The project is estimated to cost approximately CAN$ 400,000,000 CDN and will be funded totally through private investment with no taxpayers money required. The proposed project must undergo various assessments and evaluations by government departments and agencies before start-up operations can begin. Beothuk has requested an investigative permit from the Government of NL for the proposed wind farm location. Beothuk has also announced that it is proposing to operate an offshore wind farm service port at Port Harmon, Stephenville, NL. Port Harmon is strategically located to service Beothuk’s proposed St. George’s Bay wind farm and is close to Beothuk’s previously announced Corner Brook manufacturing facility.
