South Kent Wind is located in the Municipality of Chatham-Kent in southwestern Ontario. This site is one of the most spread-out in our fleet, operating across more than 165 parcels of private land. From the top of the turbines we can see Detroit on a clear day.

Community
We are committed to expanding benefits from the facility throughout the Chatham-Kent region. The South Kent Wind Community Fund was established to help build strong and vibrant communities in Chatham-Kent. The fund supports community, environmental, health and wellness, youth and education, First Nation, and Métis initiatives through a grant process administered by the Chatham Kent Community Foundation.
Additionally, $16 million of property taxes will support the Municipality and the Lambton-Kent District Schools. An average of 300 workers were on-site during project construction, with up to 500 in peak activity periods. Approximately 20 team members are on-site to operate and maintain the facility.
Environment
South Kent Wind sits on 68,000 acres, although only 130 acres are affected during operations. The facility generates enough electricity to power 100,000 Ontario homes. Each year the facility conserves enough water to meet the needs of 24,000 Ontarians, and offsets the CO2 equivalent of removing 165,000 cars from the road.
