Trillium Power Wind 1:
Clean, reliable and affordable electricity generation
Offshore wind is a reliable source of clean, economical and reliable renewable energy. Unlike onshore wind, that can be intermittent and inefficient, offshore wind is consistent and significantly more powerful.
Trillium Power's first offshore wind development, Trillium Power Wind 1 (TPW1) will be located 17 to 28 km off the shores of northeastern Lake Ontario and will deliver approximately 420 MW - enough green electricity to power at least 177,000 typical Ontario homes.
Each year Trillium Power Wind 1 will:
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 1.8 million tonnes;
- Reduce nitrous oxide emissions by 5,300 tonnes;
- Reduce sulphur dioxide emissions by 10,900 tonnes;
- Reduce water used by fossil fuel generators by 9.9 billion litres.
Trillium Power Wind Corporation will invest approximately $2 billion into the TPW1 project in order to:
- Create up to approximately 2,100 new jobs;
- Advance a new era of green-collar manufacturing;
- Contribute to municipal, provincial and federal tax bases;
- Regenerate aquatic stocks due to the 'reef effect' created by turbine foundations;
- Work with St. Lawrence College develop cutting edge training programmes;
- Work with the First Nations Technical Institute develop unique training opportunities.
Likely the first offshore wind farm to be developed on the Canadian side of The Great Lakes, Trillium Power Wind 1 will make a major and lasting contribution to Ontario’s renewable energy supply.
