EverWind Fuels has submitted an environmental assessment for a 54-turbine, 432-megawatt wind project in Guysborough County, Nova Scotia, marking the province’s largest proposed onshore wind farm. The Setapuktuk project, at the junction of the Strait of Canso and Chedabucto Bay, aims to power EverWind’s planned green hydrogen and ammonia plant in Point Tupper.
The company, led by Australian investor Trent Vichie, says the project would cause limited environmental impacts, including wetland alterations, fish habitat loss, and potential threats to at-risk plant species, but would not result in significant adverse effects. EverWind has reduced the project from an original 84 turbines to 54 and plans to build access roads, a substation, an operations building, and a six-kilometre transmission line.
Pending approval, construction could begin in late 2026 and take three years. Public comments on the environmental assessment are open until Nov. 12. EverWind has yet to make a final investment decision on the plant or any wind farms, though it maintains agreements with the province for potential Crown land leases.
Energy Minister Trevor Boudreau said the province is aware EverWind continues to advance its green hydrogen project, with no fixed deadline for action.
