Mersey River Wind Facility

On 3 February 2023, Mersey River Wind Inc registered the Mersey River Wind Farm for environmental assessment, in accordance with Part IV of the Environment Act.

The purpose of the proposed undertaking is to construct and operate a 33 turbine, 148.5 MW wind project as part of the province’s first Renewable to Retail Program, which allows private entities to register as Licensed Retail Suppliers and sell electricity directly to consumers. The wind turbines will be up to 180 m tall to the tip of the blade and individually produce up to 4.5 MW. The Project is located 4.4 km east of Milton, Queens County, Nova Scotia. The Project intends to begin construction in summer/fall 2023 and is expected to be operational for 20 years commencing in 2024.

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
