NaturEner reassures Cypress on Wild Rose wind projects
NaturEner vice president Greg Copeland updated Cypress County councillors on Wild Rose 1 and Wild Rose 2 wind farm projects amid market downturns. Construction may start in 2016 with towers arriving for Wild Rose 1, aiming 2017 completion for WR1 and 2018 for WR2, contingent on Alberta’s new government and regulatory signals. Copeland cited $25 million already invested and noted approvals by the Alberta Utilities Commission, with permits needing reapplication if construction resumes.
