Once operational in 2021, the clean energy generated by the facility will be sufficient to power more than 100,000 Alberta homes.
The energy generated by the wind facility will be supplied to the gird through the Granlea substation.
SGRE said that with the latest order, the total group of projects for the 45 SG 4.5-145 wind turbine model in Canada have reached 574 MW.
Last month, Dominion Energy selected SGRE as the preferred turbine supplier for its 2.64GW offshore wind project in Virginia, US.
Located 27 miles off the coast of Virginia Beach, the offshore wind project will be built on a 112,800-acre area and generate carbon-free electricity that will be sufficient to power 650,000 Virginia homes at rated wind speed.
