The Weavers Mountain Wind Energy Project (the Project) is a 94.4 megawatt (MW) wind
energy project proposed by WEB Weavers Mountain Wind GP Inc., Glooscap Energy #2
Limited Partnership (as represented by its general partner Glooscap Energy #2 GP Ltd.), and
SWEB Development Limited Partnership (as represented by its general partner SWEB
Development Inc.), carrying on business as WEB Weavers Mountain Wind Limited
Partnership (the Proponent).
The Project is centred on Weavers Mountain, at the border of the St. Mary’s River,
Antigonish West River, and Barney’s River watersheds, between the communities of Beaver
Meadow, Kenzieville, Eden Lake, and Lochaber, along the county boundary between
Antigonish and Pictou Counties, Nova Scotia
The Project will use up to 16 wind turbines with a maximum hub height of 125 metres (m)
and a maximum rotor diameter of 163 m. The exact wind turbine model has not yet been
selected for the Project. The turbine locations are shown in Drawing 2.2. Previous and
current land use within the main Study Area is timber harvesting and recreation.
Upon approval of the EA, construction activities are proposed to begin in winter 2024 with
major civil and electrical construction activities planned for Q2 2024. It is anticipated that the
Project will finish construction and reach commercial operation by the end of 2025 and is
expected to be operational for a minimum of 25 years.
