I had a tour of completed Glen Dhu Wind Park recently; the alternative energy facility is the largest wind farm in Nova Scotia located on Browns Mountain in Pictou County. It covers an area of about twenty four hundred hectares of privately owned woodlot properties from various local residents in the Lismore and Baileys Brook areas.
The wind farm is fully operational, consisting of 27 wind turbines and produces enough power to run approximately 18,000 homes and also helps the local economy by providing additional income to land owners, it is expected that about $400,000 per year in royalties will be paid out, $8 million over the twenty year duration of the project.
