On May 9, 2011 close to 200 community members, government leaders and project partners gathered at the top of Brown’s Mountain in Pictou County NS to celebrate Shear Wind’s Glen Dhu Wind Farm Opening. As Nova Scotia’s largest wind farm, Glen Dhu will help the province meet its 2015 renewable energy targets. The 62.1MW of wind energy produced is expected to represent 35 per cent of Nova Scotia Power’s 2010 Renewable Energy Standard (RES) target and is anticipated to produce energy to power 18,000 homes. MT&L is proud to have been Shear Wind’s partner for the past four years, working on community, stakeholder and media relations in support of Shear Wind’s success.
