Partner: Oxford Community Energy Co-operative

Oxford County is home to Gunn’s Hill Wind Farm, Ontario’s first community-owned wind farm. The 10-turbine wind farm is the result of a collaboration of Oxford Community Energy Co-op (OCEC), the County, the Six Nations of the Grand River, developer Prowind Canada Inc. and Bullfrog. The 18 MW project is now generating enough clean, renewable electricity to power more than 6,000 homes in the county!

About our community projects

Activists and organizers across the country are working to transition their communities away from fossil fuels. We created our community-based green energy projects grant to provide critical funding for these local efforts.

All bullfrogpowered customers help fund these small-scale, community-led projects, including solar panels on schools and in Indigenous communities, education and training programs, and a cleantech accelerator.
