Coyote Ridge
Coyote Ridge Project has great wind resource potential and is moving forward quickly through feasibility and development phases with a goal to have a wind farm constructed and generating energy by 2010. This region has also been recognized with world class wind potential. More recently Shear Wind has incorporated the OK Ridge Project into Coyote Ridge, extending the boundaries eastward.
Coyote Ridge project makes use of both the high ridge tops of land directly north and west of the Milk River Ridge, and the sloping access to the ridge tops and extends over 24,000 acres.
Shear Wind believes this project is a crucial component in their strategic focus for development in Alberta. Feasibility studies are well underway and a plan is in place to phase the OK Ridge Project together with Coyote Ridge to develop a world class wind farm.
The Wind Resource Assessment Report by Phoenix Engineering Inc. (now Genivar) gave Shear Wind confirmation of the great resource available in this project area, which they had known to be true from the start.
