Crown Land Nomination Process for Onshore Wind Energy Projects
Overview
The Department of Industry, Energy, and Technology (IET) is seeking input from representatives from areas of interest identified for potential wind development in the recent Call for Land Nominations. This input will be used to inform decisions about lands that may be made available for a competitive bid process for onshore wind development projects, and to help ensure the development of the province’s wind resources is undertaken in a responsible, timely, sustainable and competitive manner, with due consideration to the interests of local stakeholders and communities.
Objectives
The objectives of this session are to:
Raise awareness of Government’s commitment to facilitate development of onshore wind energy, provide an overview of the nomination process, and to inform the community that the area may be selected to be offered as part of a competitive bid process that will open in December 2022.
Determine whether the general public supports the land areas, selected through the recent call for Crown land nominations for onshore wind energy projects, to be offered in a future call for competitive land bids starting in December 2022.
It is important to note that this engagement activity is incremental to further engagement that will be required as part of existing processes such as Environmental Assessment review should development be proposed in your area.
