“ We’ ll be working on three more facilities including the Brewster, Highland Valley and Mount Mabel wind projects. On completion, their combined output will be around 537 Megawatts. With the ideal environment for Capstone Infrastructure, I’ m confident these upcoming projects will be incredibly impactful to the country’ s overall renewable energy output.”
The Wild Rose 2 Wind Farm project is part of a larger mission undertaken by Capstone Infrastructure in recent years.“ In the southeast region of Alberta,” he continues,“ we have another wind farm called Buffalo Atlee. It was completed in 2024 and stands out as one of our first landmark projects, allowing us to continue building across the province.
“ Thanks to the success of Wind Rose 2, we’ re now totalling five wind farms across Alberta in the last five years. The energy from these projects is mostly sold to large commercial, industrial, or municipal buyers based in Alberta.
“ About half of Buffalo Altee’ s output is sold under a power purchase agreement to Gibson Energy, and a high proportion of Wild Rose’ s energy production will go to the Pembina Pipeline and City of Edmonton. In this way, Capstone is delivering on partnerships with companies and governments that enable them to reach climate and decarbonization goals.
Ensuring that Indigenous communities hold significant equity in the projects we undertake has allowed us to find a sense of community in these places ourselves
“ Seeing not only what our infrastructure is capable of producing, but where that energy goes and the ways in which it supports local communities, is highly motivating for the team here at Capstone Infrastructure. It’ s heartening to see our work have such a tangible impact on the local environment and economy.”
Preserving surrounding environments and cultures is of absolute importance to Capstone Infrastructure and its team, as David asserts:“ Our work with Indigenous communities has been a long-standing aspect of the business. We work closely with local community leaders to ensure they are always included in the projects we develop.
“ We’ ve worked hard to cultivate relationships with Indigenous people as an integral part of our overall mission. Over time, these bonds have evolved
