Inuvik Wind Generation

completed

The project will create a wind energy turbine system. The project will include the installation of wind turbines, a grid controller to monitor sources of generation, and a large battery energy storage system from which energy will be drawn when wind slows. Furthermore, the project will also include the construction of an access road (a 5km access road from the all-season Dempster Highway to the project site), and electrical interconnections to the local grid. The project will result in the potential reduction of diesel use by up to 3 million liters annually (depending on the final configuration), as well as a reduction in Greenhouse Gas Emissions by up to 7,000 tonnes annually.
