Introducing Clean Sustainable Energy For Caledon

Love clean air? Help divert 5,000 to 20,000 tonnes of carbon per year from our atmosphere by participating in the harvesting of Caledon’s wind. That’s equivalent to removing up to 3500 Caledon cars off the road, or powering over 15% of Caledon households with sustainable green energy!

Electricity generation is a major source of air pollution in Ontario. In 2007, Caledon had 39 smog days, when it was considered unhealthy to play sports or exercise outdoors. Blessed with high elevation and good winds, Caledon has the opportunity to generate clean power from community-owned turbines rather than import dirty power from coal burners and other sources.

Clean, sustainable wind energy promotes a healthy environment for our children while providing new sources of revenue for agricultural lands. It helps meet the goal of sustainable energy supplying 10% of our power mix by 2010 and provides the community a share ownership opportunity.
