Oldman 1 Project
Turbine A1 - Oldman 1 Project
Phase One of the Oldman Project consists of two Vestas V80 turbines with an installed capacity of 3.6 MW. The two turbines have been in operation since March 2007.
Interconnection of the project is through the Fortis Alberta distribution grid. Capacity factors for the project have been in the high 30% range since the beginning of operation.
The project is currently 100% owned by Alberta Wind Energy Corporation and operated by TransAlta Power Corporation.

Oldman 2 Project
Oldman 2 project site in foreground
The 46 MW Oldman Phase Two project will be constructed on 1600 (648 Hectares) of private farmland currently under long term lease. The Company expects to proceed with the construction of the project in early 2012, to be commercially operational in late 2012 when grid connection becomes available.
Wind tests on the site were commenced on February 1, 2004 and are ongoing. Wind study results to date confirm a potential net capacity factor for the site in the upper 30% range. All studies and permitting for the project has been completed.
The Oldman River Phase Two project is being developed with our joint venture partner, Mainstream Renewable Power.

Windy Point Project
Windy Point project site
The 62 MW Windy Point project will be constructed on a contiguous 2240 acres of private farmland currently under long term lease. This project is located immediately north of the Oldman Phase Two Project site. Wind testing on the site commenced January, 2006 and to date, wind capacities have shown to be better than the Oldman River project.
The construction of the project could commence as early as 2012, with construction completed by 2013. The Windy Point project is being developed with our joint venture partner, Mainstream Renewable Power.
The Windy Point project currently has a development permit from the Municipality of Pincher Creek and is awaiting authorization from the Alberta Utilities Commission, which is expected in 2012.

Waterton Project
Waterton project site
The Waterton Project consists of 6000 Acres (2428 Hectares) of privately owned farmland leased in 2005. This greenfield development has two meteorological test towers on the site since March 2006.
The project is located 32 Kilometers south east of the Oldman Project and is being developed with our joint venture partner, Mainstream Renewable Power.
This project may support a several hundred mega-watt wind farm, to be built in the 2014-2015 timeframe, when suitable transmission infrastructure is completed in this area of the province.

Cardston Project
Cardston project site
The Cardston Project consists of privately owned farmland leased in 2009. Meteorological testing of the site began in early 2010 with very encouraging wind resource measurements to date.
It is expected this project may support up to a 150 MW wind park to be built in the 2014-2015 timeframe, once suitable transmission infrastructure is completed in this area of the province.

Oyen Project
Oyen project site
The Oyen Project is an early stage greenfield development project, which is 100% owned by Alberta Wind Energy Corporation. The project site lies north of Oyen, Alberta in an area that appears to be very conducive to wind power development. Wind measurement studies commenced in late 2011.
