The K.T. Industrial Development Society and partners are hopeful that the strategic business advantages offered by Kitimat and Terrace will result in wind turbine component manufacturing in this region.
The Kitimat Terrace region is home to some of the largest wind projects in Canada. These include the Banks Island project (3000 MW) and Naikun Wind Energy (1750 MW) offshore field. Both projects are expected to bid into the BC Hydro's power call. Other smaller projects abound in wind regimes along the Northwest Pacific coast and have easy access to the Kitimat.
