Wellington North council is prepared to open up the debate on wind turbines in the township.
Councillor Sherry Burke said the issue has attracted interest from local residents, with her receiving several calls since a June 28 Advertiser article revealed plans for a large turbine project near Conn and stretching into neighbouring Southgate.
The article was based on a presentation by Gabriel Durany, project manager with Renewable Energy Systems Canada Inc. (RES), to the township’s economic development committee and several councillors.
It was the first time the plan has been made public in Wellington North, despite RES having met with economic development officials about five times.
Though specific details about the plan were not discussed at the economic development level, Durany said two thirds of the project’s turbines would be erected in Southgate and one third in Wellington North."
Further inquiries by the Advertiser revealed some 40 turbines could be located in Southgate with an estimated 20 destined for Wellington North.
