Niagara Wind Farm:
A Win-Win
for All
This $1-billion project will have the largest turbines in
North America when completed and create clean wind
energy that will promote healthy communities for
thousands of homes in Ontario
It was in late 2014 that the Ontario government
gave the green light for a huge wind energy
project in Niagara and Haldimand County
that would provide thousands of homes with clean
emission and pollution-free energy. At the same
time, this $1-billion project will create employment
opportunities in the region and support local economic
development – a true win-win for all involved.
Once completed, the project will see 77 3.0 MV
wind turbines built in small clusters on a wind farm
within the township of West Lincoln and Wainfleet,
and the town of Lincoln in the region of Niagara and
Haldimont County.
Known as the Niagara Wind Farm,
Bob Daniels, vice president of the Niagara
Region Wind Corporation (now called
FWRN LP), says the corporation’s
mission is “to develop clean wind energy that promotes
economic development, healthy communities
and environmental responsibility in Ontario.”
With more than three decades of experience in
wind power and real estate development, FWRN
