The Empress Solar Project is in Cypress County, in Alberta, approximately 30km south of the Village of Empress on approximately 284 acres of privately owned land. The Power plant shall consist of ground mounted, solar PV Modules, with a total generating capacity of 38.5 MWac and 48.13 M Wdc.

Interesting facts

Unique challenge:

  • Environmental constraints caused by 18 active bird nests, which had an impact on the sequence of work.
  • Management of works around 7 wetlands, affecting logistics and team travel.

Achievements:

  • Minimize environmental impacts by performing minimal site grading, which has reduced wind erosion.
  • Implemented a new GPS system on all pile driving machines to meet the XTR tracker’s height requirements effectively.
Projet Sharp Hills

Sharp Hills Wind

The Sharp Hills Wind Project is in Special Area 3 and 4 near the hamlets of Sedalia and New Brigden, in Alberta. The project area is primarily used for grain farming and cattle grazing, which consists mainly of flat plains and rolling hills. Sharp Hills Wind Farm has a mixed layout utilizin g 67 Vestas V150 turbines rated at 4.3 MW and 4.5 MW and has an installed capacity of 300MW. Sharp Hills’ generation is equivalent to the consumption of more than 160,000 Alberta homes.
Projet Michichi

Michichi Solar

The Michichi Photovoltaic Plant is a 25 MWac solar facility built in Kneehill County, Alberta, just north of Drumheller, connected to the Alberta Interconnected Electric System at 802S Michichi Creek substation. Every year, Michichi Solar project will generate enough emissions-free energy for more than 6,000 Alberta homes and offset approximately 30,000 metric tonnes of CO2.
