Construction work on a 117.6-megawatt (MW) wind farm in the oil-rich province of Alberta, Canada, will start next year.
In an announcement Tuesday, BHE Canada — a wholly owned subsidiary of Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Energy — said the Rattlesnake Ridge Wind project would generate “enough energy to supply the equivalent of 79,000 homes.”
Costing over 200 million Canadian dollars ($151.2 million), the scheme is being privately financed by BHE Canada using equity and debt. The firm added that a “large Canadian corporate partner” had inked a “long-term power purchase agreement” for most of the energy produced by the project.
