Five wind projects are being developed in southern Alberta for 2022—a record this season!
The following large-scale wind farms will be built:
- Jenner / 40 bases / 2,500 MT
- Wheatland / 24 bases / 1,475 MT
- Cypress Hills / 36 bases / 1,100 MT
- Hand Hills / 29 bases / 1,276 MT
- Sharp Hills / 67 bases / 3,700 MT
Very soon, our crews will be installing 575 MT of reinforcing steel per week at wind farms, and this is just for AGF Rebar (Calgary), which has quickly become the leading rebar supplier for wind energy projects in the region.
AGF Rebar (Calgary) is in the process of capturing more than 75% of market share in this sector in the province; thousands of metric tons of rebar are expected to be manufactured prior to the start of the projects. Beginning in the summer of 2022, we expect to ship twice the manufacturing capacity of our Rocky View plant each week.
