St. Joseph Wind

Rural Municipality of Montcalm, Manitoba

The St. Joseph community had the vision to add a wind crop to its agricultural economy and organized a committee to find a business partner and advance the opportunity. St. Joseph Wind reached operations in 2011, becoming the largest wind energy facility in Manitoba.

Two-thirds of the tax revenue goes to education and one-third to the local communities.u003c/strongu003e u003c/spanu003e

St. Joseph Wind contributes annually to support the Musée St. Joseph Museum, a must-see attraction that displays the town’s rich history. The facility is proud to support other local groups, causes, and events through our sponsorship program.

The 138 MW facility utilizes 60 Siemens Gamesa 2.3 MW wind turbines. The design and orientation of the Red River Valley coupled with the prevailing winds present ideal conditions to harvest the wind.

Manitoba Hydro purchases St. Joseph Wind’s electricity generation, equal to the needs of about 120,000 Canadians each year, under a 27-year power purchase agreement.
