Wind power plant, substation and battery energy storage system project in the Municipal District of Willow Creek
Watch an AUC hearing
SPWC Development GP Inc. has submitted amendments to its applications to construct and operate a wind power plant, associated Breezy Ridge 1078S Substation (previously named the Willow Wind 2708S Substation) and battery energy storage system, designated as the Willow Ridge Wind Project, under the Hydro and Electric Energy Act.
The power plant would consist of 28 wind turbines, with each turbine rated at seven megawatts (MW) (previously 6.6 MW), with a total generating capability of 196 MW (previously 204.6 MW). The power plant would also include a 34.5-kilovolt gathering system, which would be used solely for collecting the electric energy generated by each turbine and transmitting the electric energy to the proposed substation.
The project would be located in the Municipal District of Willow Creek No. 26, Alberta, approximately 7.2 kilometres south of the town of Fort Macleod. Specifically, the project would be located within townships 7 and 8, Range 25, west of the Fourth Meridian, and townships 7 and 8, Range 26, west of the Fourth Meridian. The Breezy Ridge 1078S Substation and the battery energy storage system would be located in the northwest quarter of Section 7, Township 8, Range 25, west of the Fourth Meridian.
