The purpose of the proposed undertaking is to construct and operate an up to 15 turbine, up to 89 MW wind project. The wind turbines will be up to 206.5 m tall to the tip of the blade and individually produce up to 7 MW. Included in the project is the construction of access roads, electrical collector lines, a substation and temporary laydown areas. The proposed project is located at the intersection of West Hants, Chester and Halifax Municipalities, near the community of Upper Vaughn. Construction is intended to begin in 2024 and the wind farm is expected to be operational for 35 years beginning in 2025.

Proposed Site Plan
Nova Scotia Wind Turbines
This map is an attempt to document existing and proposed wind turbines in Nova Scotia
Areas outlined in yellow are the proposed project boundaries
Red dots represent turbine locations
Yellow areas with no dots are locations that I do not have turbine location data for
The data has been harvested from various project Environmental Assessment documents, company websites and databases from the Govt of Canada
Project boundary WKT polygons were created by overlaying company site plan images and tracing as best as possible... there may be discrepancies
Project boundaries that are represented as simple rectangular objects are projects that I do not have good data for so locations are estimated based on publicly available 'clues' as to locations
If any company would like to provide data for either project boundaries or turbine locations, I'd be happy to update the map
