It must be spring because the cherry blossoms are blooming at Exhibition Place! With sun, warm temperatures, and a gentle breeze in this week’s forecast, there is no better time to come down and visit the wind turbine. #WindEnergy #Toronto #CherryBlossoms #ExhibitionPlace

Yesterday, Canada announced it would cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2030 and reaching net zero by 2050. Recognizing the importance renewable energy will play in achieving this, $850 million dollar of this plan will be invested into wind and solar energy production.

Ever wonder how big the turbine is at Exhibition Place? The turbine has a height of 65 meters and the three-blade rotor has a diameter of 52 meters. Check out the graphic below for more information regarding WindShare's turbine. #WindShare #renewableenergy #windenergy #Toronto
On this date 19 years ago our wind turbine began generating its first electricity. Since this defining day for renewable energy in North America, our turbine has produced over 13,000 Megawatt-hours of electricity. #WindShare #renewableenergy #windenergy
