Developed in partnership with the Batchewana First Nation of Ojibways, the project is now owned by Nodin Kitagan Limited Partnership (“NKLP”), a joint venture formed between the two parties, representing one of the largest economic partnerships between a First Nation and a wind energy developer in Canada.
The facility, which became operational in September 2015, consists of 36 GE Energy 1.6-100 turbines.
