The proposed wind energy project, called the Westchester Wind Project (WWP or Project), consists of
up to 12 wind turbine generators (WTGs) capable of producing up to 50 MW of renewable energy that
will be connected to the existing Nova Scotia Power transmission grid via an overhead transmission line.
The Project is being developed by Natural Forces Developments Limited Partnership (referred to herein
as the Proponent or Natural Forces) in partnership with Wskijnu’k Mtmo’taqnuow Agency Limited (the
Agency), a corporate body wholly owned by the 13 Mi’kmaq bands in Nova Scotia. Together, Natural
Forces and the Agency are developing the Project and they will co-own and operate the Project.
The purpose of this Project is to help Nova Scotia achieve their renewable electricity standards through
the generation of clean, renewable energy, and reduce Nova Scotia’s reliance on imported energy
sources through the development of a localized renewable energy generation (Renewable Electricity
Regulations 2021).
