Higgins Mountain Wind

Project Overview

The Higgins Mountain Wind Farm Project is being developed in partnership with Sipekne’katik First Nation, Elemental Energy, and Stevens Wind. The project is strategically sited at one of the province’s windiest sites, directly adjacent to available interconnection capacity. The Higgins Mountain Wind Farm will bring significant local investment, jobs, and new clean electricity to the province, helping Nova Scotia transition from coal to renewable energy.
