List of wind farms in Canada
This is a list of the ten largest operational wind farms in Canada. The name of the wind farm is the name used by the energy company when referring to the farm.
The Centennial Wind Power Facility in Saskatchewan was the first wind farm in Canada to have a capacity of at least 100 MW upon completion in 2006. Since then numerous other wind farms have surpassed the 100 MW threshold, most often through the expansion of existing wind farms. All but two of Canada's provinces or territories are home to at least one wind farm, those without being Nunavut and the Northwest Territories.
Largest wind farms
Buffalo Plains is a 466 MW wind farm and is currently the largest wind farm in Alberta. Located west of Lomond, Alberta. It consists of 83 Siemens turbines. This asset is owned by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners.The previous record-holder was the 363.5 MW Seigneurie de Beaupré Wind Farms in Quebec since it was last expanded in October 2015 from 340 MW to 363.5 MW.
