Bulletin summary

We amended the REA for the Cedar Point II Wind Energy Centre to confirm joint ownership of the existing Parkhill Interconnect by four wind facilities; and joint ownership of the Jericho Transmission Facilities by two wind facilities; and to list the Parkhill Interconnect and Jericho Transmission Facilities as part of the facility description.

Why consultation isn't required

This notice informs you of the amendment to the Renewable Energy Approval and your right to require a hearing in respect of this decision.

We consider this a minor amendment and do not expect it to have any significant impact on the environment. Therefore, public consultation is not required.

Bulletin details

We amended Renewable Energy Approval No. 6914-9L5JBB to:

  • confirm joint ownership of the existing Parkhill Interconnect by Cedar Point II LP, Jericho Wind LP, Bornish Wind LP, and Kerwood Wind LP
  • confirm joint ownership of the Jericho Transmission Facilities by Cedar Point II LP and Jericho Wind LP list the Parkhill Interconnect and Jericho Transmission Facilities as part of the Project Facility Description

The Parkhill Interconnect is located on Kerwood Road (Middlesex County Road 6), Elginfield Road (Middlesex County Road 7), and Nairn Road (Middlesex County Road 17) and private property located at 26830 Nairn Road. It is important to note that the 115 kV collection line running to the Cedar Point II Wind Energy Centre and connecting to Hydro One Network Inc.'s existing 500 kV line is common to four wind energy facilities:

  • Cedar Point II Wind Energy Centre
  • Bornish Wind Energy Centre
  • Adelaide Wind Energy Centre
  • Jericho Wind Energy Centre

All of the details regarding this minor project change are included in the modification document posted on the company’s public website.

Re-confirmation letters from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry and the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport are not required because the changes did not result in relocating any project components beyond the project location that was already assessed.

This Class 4 wind facility, known as the Cedar Point II Wind Energy Centre, is located on various parcels of land within the Town of Plympton-Wyoming, Municipality of Lambton Shores, Warwick Township, and Lambton County.
