Gros-Morne 1 and 2
Overview
The Gros Morne Phase I Project and the Gros Morne Phase II Project (collectively, the “Gros Morne Projects”) are the two phases of development of a proposed wind power facility located in the Municipality of Mont-Louis and the Municipality of Sainte-Madeleine-de-la-Rivière-Madeleine, Québec. The Gros Morne Projects have a planned aggregate installed capacity of 211.5 MW (100.5 MW for Phase I and 111 MW for Phase II) and an expected aggregate yearly energy output of 657,723 MWh (312,535 MWh per year for Phase I and 345,188 MWh per year for Phase II). It is expected that the Gros Morne Phase I Project and the Gros Morne Phase II Project will commence commercial operations in December 2011 and December 2012, respectively. The Gros Morne Phase I Project is expected to consist of 67 GE wind turbines, each with a capacity of 1.5 MW, and the Gros Morne Phase II Project is expected to consist of 74 GE wind turbines, each with a capacity of 1.5 MW. The GE turbines will be active yaw and pitch regulated, horizontal axis, up-wind turbines, 11 of which will be mounted on 65-metre rolled towers and 130 of which will be mounted on 80-metre rolled towers. The turbines will operate 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.
