Hydro president Bob Brennan says the contract, with Helimax Energie, is for a year-long study that will see 60-metre-high towers equipped with wind testing equipment erected on the sites.
He says if the study determines there is enough wind at one or more of the seven locations, the initial plan will be to build one or two wind farms.
In addition to wind speed, the locations are scouted for proximity to existing hydro grids to reduce the cost of building new power lines.
To be effective, wind turbines can only be erected in a region with average wind speeds over 22 kilometres an hour.
