Hear about Glen Dhu expansion today

The company that built a set of wind turbines east of New Glasgow is holding a public meeting today to inform citizens of a proposed expansion.

Shear Wind Inc. of Halifax is moving through the environmental assessment stages to develop a 50-megawatt wind farm at Glen Dhu.

Known as Glen Dhu South, it would be a continuation of Glen Dhu North, which opened last May, chief operating officer Ian Tillard said in a news release.

The proposal is in response to a planned request for bids from Nova Scotia’s renewable electricity administrator, Power Advisory LLC, Tillard said.

Two public sessions will be held today at Kenzieville & District Community Centre. The first is from 1 to 3 p.m. and the second is from 5 to 7 p.m.
