Environmental Impact Statement Hermanville/Clearspring 30 Megawatt Wind Farm Hermanville, Pe ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT HERMANVILLE/CLEARSPRING 30 MEGAWATT WIND FARM HERMANVILLE, PE FINAL REPORT Submitted to: Prince Edward Island Energy Corporation Charlottetown, PE Submitted by: AMEC Environment & Infrastructure, A Division of AMEC Americas Limited Fredericton, NB January 2013 TE121023 PEI Energy Corporation Environmental Impact Assessment – Final Report Hermanville/Clearspring – 30 MW Wind Farm Hermanville/Clearspring, PE January, 2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Prince Edward Island Energy Corporation (“PEIEC”) proposes to develop and operate a 30 megawatt (MW) wind farm. The Hermanville/Clearspring 30 MW Wind Farm, hereafter referred to as the “Project”, would be located between Clearspring and Hermanville, near the northeastern tip of the province of Prince Edward Island (PEI). The Study Area consists of approximately 4.5 kilometres (km) along Northside Road (Route 16) between New Zealand Road and Souris Line Road; 3 km along New Zealand Road from Northside Road, 2 km along Souris Line Road from Northside Road and 4.4 km along the southern boundary. The Study Area has been used in the past and currently for forestry purposes. The main stem of the proposed transmission line will be located along the eastern boundary of Souris Line Road between Northside Road and Grant Road. The Study Area has minimal residential development around its perimeter and can meet the Provincial requirements of a setback four (4) times the height of the turbine from any residential development. Along Souris Line Road, the proposed transmission line will run adjacent to six (6) residential properties. Approximately 20 km east of the Project is the East Point Wind Farm which currently operates ten (10) wind turbines and was also developed by PEIEC. The proposed Project implementation will begin Spring 2013, with operations to begin in late fall 2013. The Project will consist of erecting ten (10) wind turbines, each capable of producing 3 MW for a total nameplate production of 30 MW; a meteorological mast; a buried and/or overhead electrical collector system; single phase power line for the substation, substation; service building, 138 kilovolt (kV) transmission line between the substation and existing T-12 transmission line; as well as access roads to each turbine, substation and service building. Key environmental features identified within the Study Area are watercourses, wetlands, avian fauna (birds and bats) as well as identified floral Species-at-Risk. The operational life of this Project’s assets is expected to be twenty-five (25) years, at which time the assets will have to be replaced or decommissioned. The goal of the Project is to allow PEIEC to fulfil its directive to develop another 30 MW of wind power for domestic consumption by 2013 as stated in the PEI Energy Accord. Direct, measurable benefits of the Project to the Province and Canada will include: • reduced emissions, thereby contributing to Canada’s objective of reducing national total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 17% from 2005 levels by the year 2020; • enabling the Province to generate approximately 30% of its electricity from renewable power; • lowered dependence on imports of electricity to the Province; • more stabilized electricity costs within the Province; and • economic development benefits to the local area.

The information reviewed and field studies have shown that no significant adverse residual impacts on the valued environmental components (VECs) are likely. The generation of electricity from renewable resources such as wind is in accordance with federal and provincial strategies, since it contributes to the reduction of GHG emissions and air pollutants. The Hermanville/Clearspring 30 MW Wind Farm, once approved, would contribute to the reduction of GHG emissions required to meet Canada’s and the Province of PEI’s targets.

  • Using GIS to Determine Wind Energy Potential in Minnesota, USA Zihan
    Using GIS to Determine Wind Energy Potential in Minnesota, USA Zihan Yang Department of Resource Analysis, Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota, Winona, MN 55987 Keywords: GIS, Wind Energy, Terrain Elevation, Multi-Criteria, Spatial Analysis Abstract Wind power is an alternative to fossil fuels. It is plentiful, renewable, widely distributed, clean, produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation and uses relatively little land. Recent studies indicate that Minnesota has plentiful wind energy potential including the possibility to use wind to generate 25 times the electricity Minnesota used in 2010 (American Wind Energy Association, 2012a). This study evaluates the potential wind energy resources in Minnesota by analyzing technical, environmental, and political criteria for developing local renewable wind energy resources. The approach assesses suitable locations for exploring wind turbines energy sources with the aid of a geographic information system. The study considers local wind conditions and other restrictions such as terrain, land use, environment, and human activities. The model identifies areas that have an excellent suitability for future wind turbine placement in Minnesota. When it compares to the approximate estimations based solely on analysis of wind speed, this rule-based model may provide a more accurate method to evaluate wind energy in Minnesota. Introduction contributing cause of global warming is the emission of greenhouse gases (in The issue of global warming is particular carbon dioxide), mainly becoming a
