Major Wind Turbine Projects in Canada & Beyond - Location, Budget & More

In summary, the current location of major wind turbine projects in Canada is primarily in Ontario, Quebec, and Alberta, with smaller projects scattered throughout other provinces. The budget for these projects varies greatly, ranging from a few million dollars to upwards of a billion. The location of a wind turbine project can greatly impact its success, with factors such as wind speed, topography, and proximity to transmission lines playing a significant role. These projects also have both positive and negative environmental impacts, such as producing clean energy while also causing noise pollution and disruption of natural habitats. While Canada is a leader in wind energy, it faces unique challenges compared to other countries, such as its colder climate and remote locations.

anything big like it costs more then 15 million and some how it has made or is attempting to make a significant contribution to the field of physics.
If it's happening in Canada then that would be most preferable and helpful but if it's taking place in a different country then that is good too

and if it would be helpful if there are links that have the following info:
Location, Participant Nations, Financial info (% funding by nation, gross expenditures, salaries, staffing, etc),
 
Physics news on Phys.org
