NWF

Project Description

• the project is located in the western section of Pictou County on Fitzpatrick Mountain, near Scotsburn, Nova Scotia
• the project consists of three Ghrepower domestic 50 kW wind turbine generators
• the machines will produce 150kW of clean, green renewable energy
• the electricity NWF's Fitzpatrick Mtn project produces is sold at the ComFIT rate under a Power Purchase Agreement with Nova Scotia Power
• this project will add 150 kW to the 3000kWs (3MW) of wind energy already being produced for Scotsburn and its surrounding rural communities
• every megawatt (MW) of wind reduces our greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 2,500 tonnes per year, enough clean energy for 350 - 400 Pictou County homes (NS Renewables)

Where Does the NWF Power Go?

Northumberland's community-owned Fitzpatrick Mtn Project supplies sustainable renewable electricity directly to the homes and businesses in these rural communities:
