Wedgeport Wind Farm GP Inc., Elemental Energy Renewables Inc., Stevens Wind Ltd., and
Sipekne’katik First Nation carrying on business as Wedgeport Wind Farm Limited Partnership
(Wedgeport Wind), is proposing to construct and operate the Wedgeport Wind Farm Project (the
Project) in Little River Harbour, Municipality of the District of Argyle, Yarmouth County, Nova
Scotia. The Project includes up to 13 WTGs with individual generating capacities ranging between
5.9 to 7.0 MW per turbine, depending on final turbine selection. As the Project is an energy
generating facility with a production rating of at least 2 MW derived from wind, the Project
requires a provincial Environment Assessment (EA) registration (Class I undertaking) with Nova
Scotia Environment and Climate Change (NSECC).
On June 26, 2012, Anaia Global Renewable Energies registered a previous version of the Project
for EA (the “2012 Project”). On August 15, 2012, The Minister released a decision that the
registration information provided in the original submission was insufficient to make a decision
on the project, and additional information was required in accordance with clause 13(1)a of the
Environmental Assessment Regulations, pursuant to Part IV of the Environment Act. Following
that determination, Anaia Global Renewable Energies made the decision not to continue with the
development of the Project and no further information was provided to NSECC. Wedgeport Wind
has since acquired the Project, including all reports, documents, and information related to the
2012 Environmental Assessment Registration Document (EARD). Wedgeport Wind is completing
the necessary steps for the successful permitting, construction, operation, and
decommissioning/reclamation of the Project.
