Hydrogen Feasibility Study

In 2023, we were selected as recipients of Ontario Energy’s Hydrogen Innovation Fund. Through this funding, we’re exploring the economic and technical feasibility of creating green hydrogen from wind and storing it underground in depleted gas reservoirs. Use cases to be assessed include fueling a hydrogen-methane turbine and using hydrogen for natural gas blending and transportation fuel.

Community Investment

At Capital Power, we contribute to the communities in which we operate with the aim of building a sustainable future for all. We engage our neighbours, consider their interests and build real relationships. We aim to source supplies and services locally for our operations, as well as hire from the community.  At Kingsbridge 1 Wind:

• We employ one permanent employee at the facility, and engage the services of three dedicated resources, representing Vestas, who are responsible for maintaining the turbines.
• We pay approximately $54,000 in property tax each year, contributing annually to community tax bases, supporting the improvement of infrastructure, roadways, and community services.

We give back where we live and work by supporting local organizations and our employees’ community participation through our corporate giving programs.
