We’re proud to share that the Sugar Maple Wind Energy Project has received Environmental Assessment approval from the Province of Nova Scotia.
Developed in partnership with Glooscap First Nation, Sugar Maple is a proposed 112 MW wind energy project in Pictou County that will generate enough clean electricity to power the equivalent of approximately 35,000 homes.
This milestone reflects years of collaboration, planning, and community engagement. The project will create jobs, generate long-term economic benefits for the region, and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions across Nova Scotia.
“From the beginning, Sugar Maple has been about more than generating electricity,” says Jason Parisé, Director of Development – Wind Lead, at SWEB . “It’s about building strong partnerships, creating local opportunity, and ensuring the benefits of renewable energy are shared in meaningful ways.” https://ow.ly/slwB50Z3LXS
