Port Burwell Wind Farm (formerly known as the Erie Shores Wind Farm) is a large wind farm near Port Burwell, Ontario, Canada. The facility stretches approximately to the west of the town, and to the southeast. In 2004, Port Burwell was awarded a generation contract by the Government of Ontario as part of its renewable energy plan. This wind farm was officially opened on April 13, 2006 to the delight of progressive leaders and to the dismay of local residents and bird conservationists. The project comprises 66 GE 1.5 MW Wind Turbines (model 1.5 SLE). Each turbine has a blade diameter of , and is mounted on an 80-metre (260 ft) tubular tower. An important measure of renewable energy generation is the capacity factor (actual output per year divided by the nameplate output). In 2009 the output was and in 2010 the output was , so the capacity factor was 26.8% and 26.2% respectively. Published reports show that the developers were expecting the capacity factor to be higher – 28.6% to 32%. ==See also== *List of wind farms in Canada 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Port Burwell Wind Farm」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
