Wind project near Lone Prairie approved despite local protests
Contractors plan 47 turbines on Mount Wartenbe delivering about 70.5 megawatts for roughly 20 000 homes. Residents including cattle ranchers oppose citing environmental health and habitat concerns though the environmental assessment finds no significant effects. Provincial approvals and 22 environmental management plans plus 54 commitments must be met, with residence setbacks and two years of wildlife monitoring required.
