EverWind announces the successful commissioning of its first MET tower on the Burin Peninsula – Green Hydrogen.
EverWind Fuels (“EverWind”), Canada’s leading large-scale green hydrogen developer, has completed the installation of meteorological and wind data collection equipment on the first of its six MET towers planned for 2023. Upon completion, EverWind will have the largest number of MET towers of any green energy project in Newfoundland and Labrador.
EverWind’s inaugural MET tower on the Burin Peninsula is located at the 27MW St. Lawrence Wind Farm, outside the Town of St. Lawrence. EverWind has partnered with Elemental Energy, owner of the St. Lawrence Wind Farm, to secure access to the project’s historical wind resource and site performance data dating back to 2007.
