| A Solar Farm |
This posting is somewhat of a wish that could happen if all the marbles fall into place. Last evening Feb. 24th I had the lucky privilege of meeting with a fellow who owns 350 acres of one of the most suitable places I've seen in Canada for putting in
3 x 10 MW RBI solar mounting systems as well as 27 MW of wind generation.
The property is broken into 3 separate 100, 150 and 100 acre parcels that also has the local utility lines passing through the property in the middle as well as Hydro 1 lines at one side of the property. The owner has done a great deal or research and has most of the homework done with contact information and surveys, drawings, etc about the available connections options.
He did most of the work himself because he use to work for Hydro 1 back before Mike Harris sold off the nuclear reactors. He would love to create a world class renewable energy, solar training, wind generation, and research center, if he could find the right sponsors and financial backing. The property has several large 40,000 square ft. buildings as well that would house many areas of research, or university centers, training facilities, demonstration manufacturing plants etc.
The vision for this came from 4 individuals as we talked about the property and what it could be used for. If anyone is interested further about this property we will be holding an information session for select possible candidates. At the moment this is just a vision among 4 individuals.
Of course the impending election will most likely be the deciding factor as to this project ever having a chance of coming to fruition. Let’s all hope that the Liberals win the next election or the Conservatives have a change of heart and see the wisdom in the renewable energy program that has been put together. So far from Tim Hudak’s point of view the conservatives are into dismantling anything of value again. Remember the highway 407 issue and how now private ownership is making serious money that could be helping every Ontarian.
