Lone Pine Wind Farm
Project Overview
The Lone Pine Wind Farm ('the Project') is a 350 MW proposed wind energy and MPC transmission project located in Kneehill County near the communities of Torrington and Sunnyslope, about 13 km west of Three Hills, Alberta.
The Project is being developed by Lone Pine Wind Project LP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Capstone Infrastructure Corporation ("Capstone").
PROJECT UPDATE
Oct 1, 2024
Capstone recently decided to withdraw the Project from its current Stage 3 status in the AESO's connection process, meaning we will not be conducting additional public meetings or making an application to the AUC in 2024 as originally planned. We will be restarting the connection process and postponing AUC application by about 2 years while we await potential regulatory changes currently under review.
For more more information, please see the Schedule Change Notice here or in the the Documents section.

Project Benefits
The project is anticipated to produce nearly 1,300,000 megawatt hours per year which is enough to supply electricity over the course of a year for about 149,000 average Albertan homes annually. The project will add emission-free, affordable, renewable energy to the provincial energy supply mix, avoiding an estimated 365,000 MTCO2e at the start of commercial operation. In addition, it will also provide the following economic benefits to the local community:
Employment opportunities for local contractors during construction for skilled labour as well as sourcing construction materials locally (gravel, concrete, etc).
Long term employment over 20+ years during operations for site managers, technicians, as well as secondary services for site maintenance.
Local businesses will receive an influx of business, particularly during the construction phase.
Kneehill County will receive additional revenue through the payment of permitting fees and property taxes. The additional revenue will have indirect benefits to all community members.
