Please Join us Wed, Dec 2 for WLGWAG Inc's first Annual General meeting & Public Information Meeting
An important aspect of any community group fighting a common risk is to remain engaged with the community it serves. Contrary to some organizations, we believe the term “engage” to include bi-directional communication between our group and the community we serve.
Our first Annual General Meeting is this Wednesday, December 2nd, 2015 at Silverdale Community Center at 7:30 PM. We will combine the required AGM functions (Paid members at 7) together with a Public Information forum. (Starting at 7:30)
The format of this portion of the meeting is intended to be mostly consultative. WLGWAG Inc. Directors want member and community input as to what you want us to discuss at this meeting and what you want us to do as a group. As such, please be prepared to ask us any questions or request topics to discuss as you see fit. Come out and join us to discuss this issue - even if you are on the "other" side. (Be civil.)

The purpose of our site is to provide a source of information regarding Industrial Wind Turbines in West Lincoln in the Region of Niagara. We simply ask that you educate yourself. We are not against 'Green Energy'. Industrial Wind Turbines are in fact industrial installations, and they should be sited as such, in the appropriate locations, with appropriate setbacks, with no impact on residential areas. There are now two projects for this area: Project 1: Vineland Power Inc. retained IPC Energy to develop a wind energy project called HAF in the Township of West Lincoln, in the Region of Niagara. This project has a total capacity of up to 10 megawatts (MW) with 5 industrial wind turbines. Click here to read more about this project. Project 2: On November 6, 2014, a Renewable Energy Approval (REA) was issued to Niagara Region Wind Corporation to engage in a renewable energy project in respect of a Class 4 wind facility consisting of the construction, installation, operation, use and retiring of 77 wind turbines, with a total name plate capacity of 230 MW. This Class 4 wind facility, known as the Niagara Region Wind Farm, consists of 77 wind turbine generators, overhead and/or below ground collector lines and a 44 kilometre 115 kV transmission line. The wind facility is located in the Townships of West Lincoln, Wainfleet and the Town of Lincoln within the Region of Niagara and Haldimand County, Ontario. Project infrastructure such as collector lines and transmission lines are being sited along the boundaries of the Township of Pelham and Town of Grimsby, but will be sited outside of these municipalities on the opposite side of the road. This large Wind Farm will use Enercon E101 3.0 Mega Watt wind turbines. Click here to read more about this project. NRWF and HAF Optioned Properties
Several landowners in the area have optioned their properties with wind companies. Landowners from Grassie to the 2nd Concession have also been approached. This provides a strong indication that additional phases and additional wind turbines may be planned for this and surrounding areas. Click here to see a map of properties that have signed up with Niagara Region Wind Corporation as of September, 2011. Click here to see a map of properties that have signed up with IPC Energy as of April, 2010. It is unknown how many other properties have optioned since that date. NOTE: The term 'receptors' on the map is the wind industry term for someone's home. |
