Soderglen

The Soderglen facility is located 20 kilometres southwest of Fort Macleod in southern Alberta.

The Soderglen facility consists of 47 GE 1.5 megawatt SLE turbines with 65-metre towers, each producing 1.5 megawatts of power for a total capacity of 70.5 megawatts. Each year, the Soderglen wind facility generates close to 260,000 megawatt-hours.

Soderglen became commercially operational in September 2006. TransAlta owns and operates the Soderglen facility through its wholly owned subsidiary Canadian Hydro Developers.

TransAlta gratefully acknowledges Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) for its support for this project through the Wind Power Production Incentive (WPPI) program.
