Samsung Renewable Energy has secured an agreement for the Belle River Wind project.
On Tuesday, Samsung, along with Pattern Energy Group announced a multi-year power purchase agreement for a new 100 megawatt wind farm in Lakeshore.
“Belle River Wind is the fifth wind project of our $5 billion Green Renewable Energy Investment here in Ontario. Samsung is proud to be a part of the Belle River community and excited about our partnership with the township that will create local jobs,” said Steve Cho, Vice President of Samsung C&T Corporation.
Samsung says the 20-year agreement with the Ontario Power Authority will produce enough annual electricity for 35,000 homes, without creating 300,000 tonnes of CO2.
