TransAltaÂ’s Kent Hills wind farm now operating

TransAlta said the facility uses 32 3-megawatt wind generators to produce electricity at the Kent Hills site, 30 kilometers (19 miles) southwest of Moncton, New Brunswick, and will produce enough power for 17,300 homes.

The Calgary-based company has said the Kent Hills wind farm can be further expanded to add an additional 54 megawatts of power.

TransAlta now has 248 megawatts of wind-powered generation and a total generating capacity of 8,788 megawatts from 50 facilities in North America and Australia.
