Dokie — 144 MW Wind

Dokie Wind Farm, with a capacity of 144 MW, holds a significant position in Canada’s wind energy sector, ranking #226 out of 1,334 power generation facilities in the country and #25 among 275 wind plants. This ranking illustrates the facility’s role in diversifying Canada’s energy portfolio, which is primarily dominated by hydroelectric power. Contributing to around 0.07% of the national capacity of 193,190 MW, Dokie plays a crucial part in the ongoing transition toward renewable energy sources. Located at coordinates 55.8118, -122.2474, the wind farm is surrounded by several hydro plants, including the impressive G.M. Shrum (2,730 MW) and Peace Canyon (694 MW). The presence of these larger hydro facilities enhances the local energy landscape, ensuring a reliable and resilient power supply in the region. While Dokie does not have neighboring wind counterparts within a close radius, its operational dynamics contribute to a balanced energy mix alongside these substantial hydroelectric plants. Canada’s energy landscape is increasingly leaning towards renewables, with wind energy gaining traction, and Dokie stands at the forefront of this shift. Operated by Alterra Power Corp, which holds a 51% stake alongside GE Energy Financial Services, Dokie Wind Farm exemplifies the collaborative efforts in the renewable energy sector. Its commissioning coincided with a growing recognition of the importance of sustainable energy solutions, ensuring that the facility will continue to play an essential role in meeting Canada’s energy demands. As the country strives to reduce carbon emissions and increase reliance on renewable sources, Dokie Wind Farm is poised to be a vital contributor to a greener future.
