This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5159.
The objective of this wind monitoring proposal is to continue to measure the wind energy potential at CN Hill (approximately 130 km from Yellowknife) until the site is next serviced and the equipment removed. This is part of an alternative energy study for the Yellowknife area. Wind data will be collected using instru...

20162015 Summary:
The objective of this wind monitoring proposal is to measure the wind energy potential at CN Hill (approximately 130 km from Yellowknife) for two years. This is part of an alternative energy study for the Yellowknife area. Wind data will be collected using instruments that measure wind speed, direction, and temperature. At CN Hill, the sensors will be installed on an existing Northwestel Tower. Tw...

20112010 Summary:
The objective of this wind monitoring project is to quantify Wekweeti’s wind energy resources. The Aurora Research Institute recently completed a desktop study concerning wind energy in Wekweeti. Computer modelling and analysis of data from nearby weather stations indicates that the wind speeds in the community may be strong enough to support the use of wind energy in Wekweeti at the proposed proj...

2009 Summary:
The objective of this wind monitoring proposal is to quantify the wind energy potential to assess the economic feasibility of installing a wind turbine as a part of the Avalon Rare Metals Inc. development near Thor Lake. A mine is expected to be built in the next few years and will employ 100 people. There will be a mine, a mill and a camp and the operation is expected to demand 5 to 10 MW of elec...
