Port Hawkesbury Paper breaks ground on $400M Guysborough County wind farm

Port Hawkesbury Paper is pouring $400 million into the construction of a wind farm in Nova Scotia’s Guysborough County that is targeted to supply 60 per cent of the paper mill’s current power needs.

The Point Tupper papermaker’s sister company, Port Hawkesbury Paper Wind, officially broke ground on the Goose Harbour Lake Wind Farm in late August. It intends to launch up to 31 wind turbines, with the intent of delivering 130.5 megawatts of power from Crown land that is already licensed to the company for wood harvesting. The company said the turbines will be active in 2026.

The provincial Department of Environment and Climate Change approved the project’s class 1 environmental assessment in early 2023.
