Under the contract, the company will carry out the construction, internal electrical infrastructures and assembly and will also undertake the operation and maintenance of the facility.

The project will comprise AW3000/116 turbines of Acciona Windpower technology, each with a capacity of 3MW, hub height of 92m, and a rotor diameter of 116m.

The South Canoe wind farm has been developed by three local companies that include Oxford Frozen Foods, Minas Basin Pulp and Power and Nova Scotia Power.

Acciona Energy North America CEO Ilya Hartmann said, "ACCIONA was able to deliver what the South Canoe Project team asked for; a complete solution including highly-reliable and high-capacity turbines, construction services and operations and maintenance.

"We’re pleased to apply our full range of wind energy services to provide the best value for this project."
