Wind-generated electricity accounts for seven sites and hydroelectric power twelve sites. Canadian Hydro’s first biomass plant is located in Grande Prairie.

Canadian Hydro owns and operates 45 turbines at the Melancthon I Wind Plant near Shelburne, Ontario.  Residents of Melancthon Township can vouch that regular, strong wind is a feature of this area, which makes it particularly suitable for the installation of a wind plant.  The electricity from these turbines enters the Ontario electrical grid, which powers homes, schools, hospitals and businesses throughout Ontario.
