Sydenham Wind
Project Background
The Sydenham Wind Energy Centre is a renewable energy project proposed under Ontario's new Feed-In Tariff (FIT) Program. The FIT Program forms the Government of Ontario's primary initiative in promoting the development of pollution-free electricity in the province and fostering a diversified, green economy.
With the full participation and support of our local partners, the Sydenham Wind Energy Centre will create:
- local job opportunities during project construction
- long-term positions for operation and maintenance
- income to participating landowners
- investment in local infrastructures, and
- significant property tax revenues for its host communities
Mainstream is especially proud of the Sydenham Wind Energy Centre's local roots. Originated by two local landowners and further developed by IPC, we continue to work in tandem with all our partners towards the continued success of this renewable energy project.
Located in the Townships of Dawn-Euphemia and Brooke-Alvinston, Lambton County, and the Municipality of Chatham-Kent, the proposed Sydenham Wind Energy Centre will involve up to 37 wind turbines on privately-owned land. The project will generate approximately 67 megawatts (MW) of electricity; enough energy to power over 20,000 Canadian households. To generate the same amount of electricity over twenty years would require burning approximately 1,700,000 tons of coal, some 85,000 tonnes per year.
