Carleton
Overview
The Carleton Project is a wind power facility under construction in the Town of Carleton-Sur-Mer and the Regional County Municipality of Bonaventure, Québec. It has a planned installed capacity of 109.5 MW and an estimated yearly energy output of 340,523 MWh. Construction of the Carleton Project commenced in October 2007 and it is expected to commence commercial operations in December 2008. The generating equipment will consist of 73 GE wind turbines, each with a capacity of 1.5 MW. The turbines will be active yaw and pitch regulated, horizontal axis, up-wind turbines, mounted on 80 metre rolled steel towers to be operated in wind speeds of 3.5 to 25 metres per second. Each turbine will have a three-bladed 77-metre diameter rotor. Innergex Renewable Energy Inc. owns a 38% interest in the project.
