Wind Energy
Wind-source energy is becoming increasingly important in Ontario. It is beneficial to the environment as it creates no hazardous waste or emissions.
The Ontario Power Authority has identified a roster of potential wind-power generating sites amounting to over 12,000 MW.
Currently, Ontario has about 415 MW of installed wind energy capacity, with another 1000 MW planned. Erie Shores Wind Farm, on Lake Erie, and Prince Wind Farm, on Lake Superior, together produce almost 200 MW. More projects on this scale are in the planning stage.
