Thinking of tapping wind power in Ontario?
Here’s an article from a local Thunder Bay newspaper about a new Web site from the Ontario government that maps wind resources throughout the province.
The site is called Ontario Wind Resource Atlas and is provided by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. It’s quite an interesting prospecting tool, and seems ideal for anybody interested in wind — whether to put up a single turbine on a plot of land or develop a multi-turbine wind farm. The site “allows users to view colour-coded maps of numerous wind statistics for any one-square-kilometre area in the province.”
