Toronto, Ontario [RenewableEnergyAccess.com] Bullfrog Power announced the commissioning of two Vestas V82 1.65-megawatt (MW) wind turbines at the Sky Generation wind farm in Ferndale on the Bruce Peninsula. They are expected to produce almost 9 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of emissions-free electricity each year.

"We remain committed to bringing even more renewable projects online as we continue to grow."

-- Tom Heintzman, Bullfrog Power, president

"By exercising their choice for green electricity for their homes, businesses and events, Bullfrog Power customers have directly enabled the development of these new wind turbines," said wind power pioneer and CEO of Sky Generation, Glen Estill.

"We are thrilled to see new renewable power coming online in Ontario as a result of Bullfrog Power customer demand," said Tom Heintzman, president, Bullfrog Power. "The support of bullfrogpowered residents and businesses is key to our ability to shift the balance of power, and we remain committed to bringing even more renewable projects online as we continue to grow."

Since its launch in September 2005, Bullfrog Power, an Ontario-based green electricity retailer, sources power exclusively from wind and low-impact hydro generators that meet or exceed the federal government's Environmental Choice Program EcoLogo standard for renewable electricity. Sky Generation is one of Bullfrog Power's EcoLogo-certified wind power generators.

This is not a story about a utility, but a green-power retailer. See http://www.bullfrogpower.com/

From the site: "Bullfrog Power is the only electricity retailer in Ontario that buys power exclusively from wind and low-impact hydro generators who meet or exceed the federal government's Environmental Choice Program EcoLogo standard for renewable electricity."

This site is publishing an article because some utility in Canada is adding two wind turbines to their grid?
Better stop the presses on this one. At this rate this
site will need to publish 10,000 such articles before we achieve 1% of our electricity from the wind. I really don't want to read another 10,000 articles like this one.
Let's show a little discretion on the articles this site publishes, and make sure they have some significance.
