WORLD WIND WATCH.

There’s a growing list of wind projects for 2006 and beyond.

GE Energy has received an order from Brascan Power of Ontario, Canada for 66, 1.5 megawatt turbines for the 99 megawatt Prince Wind Farm to be built in the second half of 2006.

Prince, to provide power to the province of Ontario power grid, will be one of the first large-scale wind farms built in the province. The wind farm will be built near Sault Ste. Marie.

(Currently Canada has only 590 megawatts of wind capacity, but the Canadian Wind Energy Association (CanWEA) believes wind capacity could reach 7000 megawatts by 2013)
