The Brewster Wind Project is one of nine renewable energy projects selected by BC Hydro as part of its 2024 call for power.

A wind farm proposed for the Strathcona Regional District is among nine renewable power-generation projects chosen by BC Hydro through its 2024 call for power. 

Called the Brewster Wind Project, it aims to have a capacity of up to 200 megawatts and about 30 wind turbines. The project would also include a project substation, access roads, an interconnection transmission line and ancillary equipment. It would operate for 30 years. 

In a media release, BC Hydro said these nine projects will provide nearly 5,000 gigawatt hours per year of electricity, enough to power 500,000 new homes. This would boost BC HydroB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s current supply by eight per cent.

The development and construction of new clean-energy projects will generate between $5 billion and $6 billion in private capital spending throughout the province, according to the release.
