EverWind Fuels has received approval to use a piece of crown land to develop an onshore wind farm to provide power to its multi-phase green hydrogen hub development project in Point Tupper.
It is expected to provide close to two gigawatts of on shore power and enable the company to reach one million tonnes of annual green ammonia production by 2026. The crown land is located within the Municipality of the District of Guysborough and EverWind is working out its development plan for the wind farm that they plan to share in the coming months. The development of the windfarm will follow all regulations according to Nova Scotia Enviromental Assessment regulations
EverWind CEO Trent Vichie says they look forward to working with the Municipality of the District of Guysborough to develop a sustainable project that supports development goals while respecting the interests of residents. The company is grateful that the provincial government will allow their team to deliver an opportunity for Nova Scotia to become a green energy leader.
The announcement was also welcomed by Guysborough Warden Vernon Pitts, saying the municipality looks forward to gaining a full understanding of EverWinds plans and their contribution to environmental and economic sustainability.
Cape Breton Canso MP Mike Kelloway is happy to see that the region is playing a role that is aligned with the federal governments commitments to fight climate change. He believes the Quad Counties have the land, infrastructure, and skilled people needed to work with EverWind to be leaders in the transition to clean industries and technologies.
