The City of Summerside Wind Farm, hereafter referred to as the “Project” would be located at the extreme northern municipal boundary of the City of Summerside next to Malpeque Bay, within the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. This area will hereafter be referred to as the “Study Area”. The Study Area has been used in the past and currently for the purpose of growing crops and includes three zoning categorizations: institutional, agricultural, and conservation (wetlands). The Study Area has minimal residential development around its perimeter and can meet the provincial requirements of a setback three times the height of the turbine from any residential development. The project site perimeter is approximately two kilometres from the Slemon Park airport which is a registered, but not certified, airport. The proposed implementation will take place in four phases. Phase One will include the installation of 5.0 MWs of electrical wind power by mid-2007. Phases Two through Four entail an additional 7.5 MWs of electrical wind power when funding becomes available. The operational life of this project’s assets is twenty-five years, at which time the assets will have to be replaced or decommissioned. The goal of the Project is to displace fossil fuel generated energy with renewable resource energy. It is expected to annually displace 38.325 GWhs of electricity when the wind farm is fully developed. This project will benefit the City of Summerside, the Province, and Canada on may fronts, such as: • Kyoto emission reductions. • Compliance with Prince Edward Island’s Renewable Energy Act. • Lower dependence on imports of electricity to the Province. • Increased stability of electricity costs within the Province. • Economic development benefits to the local area. Both an environmental assessment and a geological survey is to be conducted for the Project due to its height above grade and location adjacent to Slemon Park Airport and conservation area (wetlands).

  • Aerospace Overview Slemon Park
    Aerospace SLEMON PARK, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, CANADA BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT Slemon Park provides a competitive and cost-efficient business climate that is crucial KPMG Cost Competitiveness Study to helping aerospace companies increase their return on investment, thereby enhancing their ability to invest in development, grow their market share and beat their competition. Prince Edward Island is home to Canada’s only aerospace tax rebate program. Aerospace companies who choose Slemon Park can generate more profit by taking Aerospace - total Cost of Operating - Index to US advantage of Prince Edward Island’s Aerospace Tax Rebate program for aviation-related companies. The Aerospace Tax Rebate incentive includes an annual rebate on corporate income tax paid to the province, and an annual rebate of real property tax relating to ownership or lease of property in Prince Edward Island. It’s no wonder that in a 2016 Cost Competitive Study completed by KPMG, which reviewed the total cost of doing aerospace business in 111 cities and 10 countries, Prince Edward Island had the 3rd highest net profit after tax amongst the 100 plus cities studied which included the major aerospace hubs of Dallas, Seattle, Chicago, Toronto and Montreal. This proof also translates to our current aerospace clientele. Slemon Park’s business environment has proved effective for some of the best-known names in aerospace. StandardAero and Honeywell Aftermarket Service have had operations in Slemon Park for more than 25 years. There is a reason why StandardAero and Honeywell have operated in Slemon Park for more than 25 years – they are profitable in the global competitive aerospace arena.
