Installed capacity of 30-megawatts of renewable energy
Project overview
South Branch Wind Farm is located approximately 20 kilometers south of the town of Winchester and 70 kilometers south of the nation’s capital, Ottawa. The agricultural land is used to grow corn and soybeans as well as for dairy farming. The wind farm takes its name directly from the South Branch River that runs through the middle of the project. South Branch is located entirely inside the municipality of South Dundas, in the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry.
South Branch Wind Farm yields significantly in the form of payments to landowners, local spending, and annual community investment. South Branch Wind Farm is also compatible with other land uses and provides a stable form of income to local landowners.
