Project Description

The Tumbler Ridge Wind Project is included in the four 25-year electricity purchase agreements (EPA) Finavera has with BC Hydro Corporation. The project area is located eight kilometres southwest of the community of Tumbler Ridge and can be accessed by existing roads. The wind data supporting this project is comprised of approximately four years of wind and climatic data from on-site meteorological towers. Currently, the proposed number of wind turbines for this project is 33. We anticipate commercial operations to begin in 2013. When in operation, the wind farm has an expected capacity of 47.2 MW. Throughout the project development, we will continue to engage our partners, surrounding communities and other stakeholders.
