Ownership matters in the renewable energy business. The sun, the wind, the tides and the earth are common resources that should benefit us all.

Scotian WindFields was created to ensure that Nova Scotians enjoy the wealth generated by our abundant renewable energy resources.

Check out the pages in this section to learn about the community WindFields. You can learn, as well, about participating in our vision to see community-owned renewable energy powering our communities across the province. Whether you'd like to lease your land or be involved as a local director, there are plenty of opportunities to share in the vision.

Philosophy

The Scotian WindFields philosophy is based on two strong pillars:
    1.    Community involvement is integrated into planning and corporate structure.
    2.    We will satisfy the energy needs of Nova Scotians at all levels from large wind farms to home-based renewables.

Scotian WindFields Inc. was formed by agreement among regional community WindFields. The community groups realized that they needed a single organization dedicated to producing and managing renewable energy projects. As a result, Scotian WindFields Inc was formed.

The partnership with the community WindFields provides Nova Scotians with a direct means for ownership of local energy resources and in turn, provides Scotian WindFields Inc with a link to network directly with community stakeholders, decision-makers, service-providers, and landowners.

As a result of this partnership:
    •    Scotian WindFields Inc has succeeded in bidding on and winning a Power Purchase Agreement with Nova Scotia Power Inc for a 30 MW wind farm near Digby.
    •    Scotian WindFields Inc is developing several projects in the commercial (inside the fence) provision of renewable energy for retail and industrial entities.
    •    Scotian Windfields Inc has established a presence in the small scale renewables (wind and solar) for home and small business.
