NaiKun Wind received environmental certification from the provincial government on December 10, 2009.
The NaiKun Wind project underwent a harmonized provincial/federal review led by the EAO which concluded the project will have no significant environmental, social or health effects on the surrounding area.
Environmental certification marks the culmination of over six years of extensive environmental studies, analysis and community consultation. As part of the process, NaiKun Wind has made numerous commitments that are carefully designed to maximize project benefits and minimize the risk of negative effects on the environment.
