Two wind projects in Canada have been selected to receive funds from the federal government's ecoENERGY for Renewable Power program. The funding is part of a series of investments announced across the country totaling up to C$63.8 million to support renewable and clean energy projects that will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support high-quality jobs.
The 99 MW Digby Neck wind farm in Nova Scotia will receive up to C$9.2 million.
In addition, the Cowessess First Nation's wind storage demonstration project will receive C$2.79 million. A wind turbine and a battery storage system will be installed on the Cowessess First Nation's land near Regina to demonstrate how intermittent wind power can be harnessed and stored to provide constant, continuous energy.
