Partnership for Goulais Wind Farm

The Batchewana First Nation and Sprott Power Corp. have a proposed partnership and business relationship, subject to negotiation of final legal documentation, which would provide Batchewana First Nation with a 49 per cent partnership interest in the 25 MW renewable energy Goulais Wind Farm. The Goulais Wind Farm, located north of Sault Ste. Marie, will be built along the Mile Hill approximately two kilometers from the end of the current Prince Wind Farm operation in Ontario. “The addition of the Goulais Wind Farm to the original reserve will provide enhanced opportunities for the First Nation through income-generation, employment and training opportunities, as well as business opportunities for Batchewana companies who can provide construction services,” said Chief Dean Sayers in a news release. Sprott Power Corp. is an owner, operator and developer of renewable energy projects.
