Goose Harbour Lake

On 27 January 2023, PHP Wind GP Inc and PHP Wind LP Inc, carrying on business as Port Hawkesbury Paper Wind Limited Partnership, registered the Goose Harbour Lake Wind Farm Project for environmental assessment, in accordance with Part IV of the Environment Act.

The purpose of the proposed undertaking is to construct and operate a 29 turbine, 130.5 MW wind project that will diversify the energy mix powering the Port Hawkesbury Paper Facility. The wind turbines will be up to 195 m tall to the tip of the blade and individually produce up to 4.5 MW. The Project centre is located 7 km northeast of Lincolnville and 7.4 km southeast of Mattie Settlement, Guysborough County, Nova Scotia. The Project intends to begin construction in summer/fall 2023 and is expected to be operational for 25 years commencing in 2025.

Stated purpose was to diversify the power supply for the pulp mill at Point Tupper
but in June 2022 Port Hawkesbury Paper signed a MOU with Charbonne Hydrogen
(Quebec) to produce Hydrogen. Charbonne focuses on a pure hydrogen supply to markets near to smaller scale production rather than the added production of ammonia

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
