Chatham-Kent municipal council will be dealing with two wind-farm proposals near Kempfville when it meets on Monday.
Crossfield Wind, also known as Capstone Infrastructure, wants to construct a 110 Megawatt (MW) farm with 15-18 wind turbines northeast of Ridgetown.
If approved the municipality would receive $15.4 million in community benefits to be used for community purposes and distributed at the sole discretion of the municipality. The project would take until 2030 to complete.
Botany Wind, also known as EDF Power Solutions, is also seeking community support to build a 100 MW project with 15-18 turbines northwest of Ridgetown by 2030.
Botany Wind would provide $14 million for community capital infrastructure.
Both wind farms need to complete an Agricultural Impact Assessment.
