EDF is proposing to build a 20-turbine wind farm near Ridgetown.
The first steps will be consultations with the municipality of Chatham-Kent and the the Independent Electricity System Operator.
The Botany Wind Project would generate 100 megawatts of electricity and have a life span of 20 years. The proposal includes plans to dismantle or rejuvenate the turbines.
The company said it "will engage with community members, First Nations, local government officials, and local businesses to make sure the final project design is socially, environmentally, and economically sustainable. Our goal is to minimize potential impacts to the environment, local stakeholders, and to partner with First Nation communities."
