• CanWEA’s O&M Summit is part of a broader CanWEA Operations and Maintenance Program that allows the wind energy industry to collaborate on areas such as benchmarking data, health and safety best practices, improved networking, innovation and research, and information sharing on critical issues such as wildlife and the environment.
• Canada had 6,590 wind turbines totaling 12,796 megawatts of installed capacity operating as of August 2018, with growth spurred by a 67 per cent decrease in wind energy costs since 2009, and costs forecast to continue decreasing over the coming years.
• The recent milestone publication for the Canadian wind industry – Best Practices for Wind Power Facility Electrical Safety – has been developed by the CanWEA Operations and Maintenance Caucus to assist with the safe operation and maintenance of wind power generation facility electrical systems. The document contains a range of resources for wind farm owners, operators, equipment manufacturers, and service providers.
