Project Overview

On January 23, 2009, the Ministry of Energy announced that Invenergy was awarded the bid to build, own and operate a 52 turbine, 78 MW wind project.

It will be located on 9300 acres of private land in the former townships of Raleigh and Tilbury East in the Municipality of Chatham-Kent. When completed, it is estimated that the Wind Farm will generate over 200,000 MW Hours of renewable energy per year. 

 

Timeline and Status

Invenergy has completed field studies, wind assessments and design work.

Construction began in October 2009 and will take approximately 8-12 months.

Benefits of the Raleigh Wind Energy Centre

  • Once operational the wind farm will require approximately 8 full time operation and maintenance staff and some secondary staff.

  • During the construction phase the labor force is expected to peak at approximately 150 people. Based on previous projects, over half of this labor will be hired locally.

  • Local construction contracts are anticipated to have a value between $25 to $35 million.

  • Property taxes are expected to add $150,000-$250,000 annually to municipal coffers while placing a minimal demand on municipal services.

  • Option and lease payments to landowners during the 20-year term of the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) contract are forecasted to be more than $15 million..
