Aeolis Wind sites in northeastern BC

Northeastern BC is a vast area that covers almost 200,000 square kilometers, but is home to only about 50,000 people. The largest cities are Fort St. John (20,000) and Dawson Creek (11,500). The region does not fit the broad physical description of BC as a mountainous, vertical landscape. Lying to the east of the Rocky Mountains, most of it is relatively flat and physio-graphically similar to the prairies. The exception to this are the foothills of the Rockies, which Garrad Hassan, Al-Pro, Enercon and other wind industry players from around the world recognize as having world-class wind. BC Hydro and the BC Government are also now fully apprised of this exceptional asset, which was little understood until Aeolis and a few other independent wind developers began prospecting for wind in the region fewer than 15 years ago.

In 2010, the 102 MW Bear Mountain Wind Park in northeastern BC became the first operational wind park in BC. Aeolis initiated and led the development of this project. It’s currently owned and operated by AltaGas Ltd. Aeolis is now focused on advancing the Thunder Mountain  and Hackney Hills wind projects. In addition, Aeolis holds leases to a number of other exceptional wind sites in this region, which, in conjunction with development of electricity transmission infrastructure, can be used to electrify operations in BC’s shale gas/LNG industry, thereby helping the province meet its GHG emissions reductions commitments and build a legacy of clean power in the northeast.
