Grizzly Bear Creek Wind Project
Located in the counties of Minburn and Vermilion, in the province of Alberta, Canada, Grizzly Bear Creek Wind Project is in development approximately 170 km east of Edmonton.
The Grizzly Bear Creek Wind Project will bring new jobs, revenue and sustainable energy to Alberta.
The project has received permits from the Alberta Utilities Commission, while an amendment is underway to update the permits for a project capacity increase and new turbine technology.
Enel Green Power is undertaking public consultation on these project changes. Construction start is targeted for May 2021 with a December 2021 commercial operations date. When fully operational, Grizzly Bear Creek will consist of 152 MW of installed capacity.
