Energy giant tests winds north of city

Brookfield Renewable Power Inc. continues looking into the feasibility of a sister for its sprawling Prince Wind Energy Project immediately northwest of the Sault Ste. Marie city limits.

Brookfield Renewable, corporate parent of Great Lakes Power Ltd., entered into a memorandum of understanding with Batchewana First Nation (BFN) over a year ago with regard to the potential development of Nimaasing Wind Project on Crown land in traditional BFN territory.
