NaiKun Wind Energy
Group Inc.

Off the coast of
Haida Gwaii in Hecate Strait, the proposed NaiKun project will harness some of
the world’s strongest and most consistent winds to provide clean renewable
energy to generations of British Columbians.

The Naikun Project
is:

Working in
partnership

The NaiKun
team has been working collaboratively with North Coast communities, First
Nations, and global partners to deliver a made-in-B.C. world-class project.

The NaiKun
Offshore Wind Energy Project supports B.C.’s commitment to develop clean,
renewable, made-in-B.C. electricity and can significantly contribute to meeting
our growing energy needs. Wind energy is a key part of the global shift to
increase use of renewable energy and this project can help reduce our
provincial and national greenhouse gas emissions. The project is a long-term
investment in the communities of the north coast and provides lasting benefits.
In addition to employment during the construction phase, there will be
many long-term career positions related to the operations and maintenance
of the project.

Cost-Effective

Improvements
in technology have resulted in a significant reduction in the cost of power
from the NaiKun project. With power production 97 per cent of the time, a gross
capacity factor of greater than 60%, and with more than 19 years of wind data
showing 10 metres per second average wind speed, the project is poised to be
cost-effective and reliable.

Shovel-ready

Provincial (Environmental
Assessment Office) and federal (Canadian Environmental Assessment
Agency) regulatory approvals are in place for a 400MW project.
Construction can begin within two years of power purchase agreement.
Construction period has been reduced with advances in technology and
engineering, resulting in lower construction costs and facilitating powering up
projects faster.
