ACCIONA ENERGÍA’S LARGEST WIND FARM IN NORTH AMERICA FORTY MILE BEGINS OPERATIONS

CHICAGO, IL, UNITED STATES, May 27, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- ACCIONA Energía has announced the start of commercial operations at Forty Mile Wind Farm (280MW) in Alberta (Canada), one of Canada’s ten largest wind farms and the largest facility of its kind that ACCIONA Energia has built to date in North America.

Forty Mile features 49 Nordex turbines, each with a capacity of 5.7MW and a tower height of 108-meters. The wind farm will reduce CO2 emissions by 600,000 metric tons per year, equivalent to planting 25 million of trees.

Beyond delivering clean energy, the Forty Mile Wind Farm has a direct positive economic impact on the local communities where the project is located. During peak construction, the project created over 200 direct jobs, and it will maintain 25 full-time positions for ongoing operations and maintenance. In addition, the project is expected to contribute more than CAD $133 million (€85 million) in property tax revenues over its lifetime, benefitting public services and local communities, and it is providing financial support to local non-profit organizations, such as the Bow Island Food Bank, Root Cellar Food & Wellness Hub and the Medicine Hat Women’s Shelter Society.
