Diavik Wind Farm NWT Chamber of Commerce 4 th April 2012

Location

Diavik

5 Diavik is completely dependent on diesel for all site power needs. Hybrid power options sought to reduce cost and decrease GHG emissions. Why Wind Power?

6 Reduced power generation costs. ~ $30 million investment with 8 year payback. ~ 10% reduction in diesel power generation. > 4 million litres reduction in diesel usage per year. Equates to around 100 truckloads per year. 12,000 tonnes reduction in CO2 emissions per year. 6% overall reduction in GHG emissions. What will Wind Power deliver?

7 Four Enercon E70 generators. 9.2 Megawatt installed capacity 2.1 to 6 Megawatt online capacity. 17 GWh power produced annually. Designed to operate to -40 o C. Diavik Wind Farm Tower height65m Blade length35m Total height100m Generator weight55 tonnes

Commence wind data collection Analysis of wind data and project feasibility study. 2011Project approval / contract negotiations. Generators ordered and commenced construction. Site geotech. drilling / construction commenced. Generator components shipped to Canada. 2012Generator components transported to site via the Winter Road. Complete site construction and erection of wind turbines. Power generation commences. Timeline
