Canadian Hydro: Contribution Agreement with the Government
Die untenstehende Meldung ist eine Original-Meldung des Unternehmens. Sie ist nicht von der ECOreporter.de-Redaktion bearbeitet. Die presserechtliche Verantwortlichkeit liegt bei dem meldenden Unternehmen.
Canadian Hydro Developers, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Canadian Renewable Energy Corporation, confirmed that the Federal Environmental Assessment has been completed and that the Company has subsequently signed a Contribution Agreement with the Government of Canada for funding under the ecoENERGY for Renewable Power program for the Wolfe Island Wind Project.
The Wolfe Island Wind Project, located on Wolfe Island near Kingston, Ontario, is 100 per cent owned and will be operated by Canadian Hydro. It is expected to generate approximately 594 GWh of renewable power, which is enough to supply about 75,000 average households.
With an estimated capital cost of $450 million, this 197.8 MW project is well under construction. The target commercial operation date is March 31, 2009. Under the ecoENERGY for Renewable Power program, the Wolfe Island Wind Project will receive a $10 per MWh incentive over the next ten years, in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
"Our Government is committed to increasing Canada's supply of clean, renewable energy," said the Honourable Lisa Raitt, Minister of Natural Resources. "This investment will help us achieve our goal, while ensuring that the clean energy produced is delivered to Canadians at affordable prices."
"The ecoENERGY for Renewable Power program demonstrates the Government of Canada's support of renewable energy," said John Keating, CEO of Canadian Hydro. "This program puts Canada on a competitive playing field with other renewable energy incentives worldwide. We encourage the Government of Canada to extend the program beyond its current capacity to support continued future growth of our industry and the development of green jobs for Canadians."
Canadian Hydro Developers, Inc. is committed to Building a Sustainable Future®. The Company is the largest and most diversified developer, owner and operator of 20 renewable power generation facilities in Canada totaling net 496 MW of capacity in operation, 385 MW in and nearing construction and 1,632 MW in development. The renewable generation portfolio is diversified across three technologies (water, wind and biomass) in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec. This portfolio is unique in Canada as all facilities are certified, or slated for certification, under Environment Canada's EcoLogo(M) Program.
Businesses, municipalities, institutions and organizations are eligible to apply for funding under the ecoENERGY for Renewable Power program. The initiative provides $1.48 billion to increase Canada's supply of clean electricity from renewable sources such as wind, biomass, low-impact hydro, geothermal, solar photovoltaic and ocean energy. It will encourage the production of up to 4,000 megawatts of new electricity from renewable energy sources - enough electricity to power about one million homes.
