Bullfrog Power, Oxford Community Energy commission 18 MW wind farm

By Paul Dvorak | January 27, 2017

Bullfrog Power, a renewable-energy energy provider based in Canada, and Oxford Community Energy Co-operative (OCEC) have commissioned Ontario’s first community-owned wind farm. Gunn’s Hill Wind Farm consists of 10 turbines located in Oxford County, southwestern Ontario. The project’s success involved the collaboration of OCEC, the County, the Six Nations of the Grand River and organizations that include developer Prowind Canada Inc. and Bullfrog Power, which first announced its support in 2014.

“Bullfrog Power’s early partnership with the co-operative was an important show of support that contributed to its success,” said Helmut Schneider, President of Prowind Canada Inc. and former CEO of OCEC. “Today, the Gunn’s Hill Wind Farm provides an opportunity for community members to directly benefit from new renewable energy generation in their area.”

The 18 MW Gunn’s Hill Wind Farm, in Oxford County, between London and Kitchener-Waterloo in southwestern Ontario, adopted a sustainability plan to achieve 100% renewable energy by 2050.

“Wind power plays a significant role in generating the renewably-powered future we want to achieve, which is why we’re proud to be supporting Ontario’s first community-owned wind farm,” said Ron Seftel, CEO, Bullfrog Power. “Thanks to the thousands of Bullfrog powered individuals and businesses across Canada, we’re able to provide funding to community-led projects that will have an impact on how our power is generated for years to come.”

Bullfrog Power, through its community renewable projects program, has supported more than 70 green energy projects across Canada. Recent Bullfrog Power community projects in Ontario include solar panels on Toronto’s Kew Beach Junior Public School and North America’s first zoo-biogas plant at the Toronto Zoo.
