Nova Scotia Power and Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering have agreed to build and use made-in Nova Scotia wind towers and blades across the province.
Premier Darrell Dexter says his government has signed a letter of intent that provides the opportunity for Daewoo to supply wind turbine components for up to 100 megawatts of capacity over the next four years.
The Nova Scotia government is a partner with Daewoo to build a wind turbine plant at the former TrentonWorks railcar factory.
Nova Scotia Power will work with Daewoo on having the Trenton plant supply the towers and blades required by the utility during the next several years.
The private utility company will also encourage the use of those components by independent power producers working on their own or in partnership with communities. Under the letter of intent, Daewoo would supply Nova Scotia Power with the wind turbine components, subject to competitive pricing and quality, and the ability to meet requirements of the utility’s turbine suppliers.
