Project overview
Boralex in partnership with Aeolis is proposing to develop the Red Willow Wind Project, an approximately 200 MW to 350 MW wind energy facility, southeast of the District of Tumbler Ridge in the Peace River Region of British Columbia (BC). The purpose of the project is to generate a renewable, long-term energy source for the BC electrical grid to support expanding industrial and residential needs.
The Red Willow Wind Project will help achieve provincial goals set out in the 2007 BC Clean Energy Plan by providing safe, reliable, and renewable electricity. The estimated capital cost of the Project is C$480 million. It is anticipated that the energy generated by the Project will be sold under an EPA to BC Hydro. Since the proposed Project will have a capacity of greater than 50 MW, the Project is considered reviewable under the BC Environmental Assessment Act and the Reviewable Projects Regulation.
