Suzlon’s 15 units of S97-2.1MW wind turbine will be installed on 90m hub height towers at the wind farm project located in Amherst.
With a generating capacity of 31.5MW, the Amherst wind farm will be owned by SP Amherst Wind Power, a partnership between subsidiaries of Sprott Power Corp and Firelight Infrastructure Partners.
At full capacity, will deliver enough electricity to power nearly 10,000 Canadian homes.
Suzlon said 45 wind turbine blades measuring 47.5m each, along with gearboxes and generators, are being transported to the $61m Amherst wind farm project.
Construction on the power project started in May 2011 and is slated for completion in the first quarter of next year.
