About the project

RES Oyen Wind LP, a wholly owned subsidiary of Renewable Energy Systems Canada Inc. (RES), is proposing to develop, construct and operate the Oyen Wind Power (the Project), to be located north of the town of Oyen, Alberta, in Special Area No. 3,and which would generate up to 466 megawatts (MW).


The Proposed Project Layout comprises 84 potential turbine locations, however, we anticipate constructing a maximum of 83 turbines. We are currently examining several turbine models with nameplate capacities between 5.7 MW and 6.6 MW which could have a maximum tower height of 120 metres and a maximum blade length of 85 metres. The final number of turbines will be determined once the turbine model has been selected.

Other project components include an underground collector system, Project substation, access roads and an operations and maintenance building.

Interconnection

The Project proposes to build a short transmission line to connect to the existing 240 kV transmission line owned and operated by ATCO to the west of the Project area. If approved, the transmission connection would be built along the existing line to connect to the existing Lanfine Substation (959S).

RES IN YOUR COMMUNITY

RES is an active player in the communities in which it is involved and can support various fundraising events and special initiatives that bring local benefit.

Benefits to the community include:

  • Municipal tax revenues throughout the life of the Project;
  • Annual lease payments and/or royalties to all landowners participating in the Project, providing a parallel, secure revenue stream to standard farming operations;
  • Construction and operations jobs and support services during construction and throughout the life of the Project;
  • Contracting opportunities for local businesses;
  • Increased local spending on goods and services during the Project’s development, construction and operational phases.

If you have any ideas on how we can take an active role in the community, please contact us.
