Talbot Windfarm is a 98.9 MW wind farm developed by Enbridge Inc. on 11,500 hectares of agricultural land in the Township of Howard and the Township of Oxford, in the Municipality of Chatham-Kent.
A 34.5 kilovolt (kV) connection system was installed to connect the wind turbines to the substation. A 34.5/230 kV substation was built to step-up the generation to 230 kV for connection to the Hydro One owned 230 kV circuits W44LC and/or W45LC to feed into the Ontario electricity market administered by the Independent Electricity System Operator.
It is estimated this wind farm will generate over 275,000 megawatt-hours of renewable energy per year.
