Wind Energy Institute of Canada (WEICan)

Green electricity source

Since 1981, the non-profit Wind Energy Institute of Canada (WEICan) has been advancing the development of wind energy across Canada through research, testing, innovation, and collaboration. Commissioned in 2013, WEICan’s 10 MW Wind R&D Park generates clean, renewable electricity to help support WEICan’s mandate.

In 2021, WEICan added 109 kW of PV solar to the project, along with a 111.5 kW/223 kWh battery energy storage system, which will provide additional opportunities to increase understanding of how to improve grid integration of renewable energy.

Bear Mountain Wind Project

Completed in 2009, the Bear Mountain Wind Park is the first fully operational wind project in B.C. Today it delivers enough electricity to power most of B.C.'s South Peace region. The site is also used for cattle grazing, hiking, snowmobiling, cross country skiing and other recreational activities.
