Rattlesnake Ridge Wind Power Project – wind generation in southern Alberta
The Rattlesnake Ridge Wind Power Project is a 130-megawatt wind farm located in southeast Alberta. It is being privately financed by BHE Canada through a combination of equity and debt and requires no government subsidies or tax incentives to support its operation.
