Here's 2,500mw of wind energy potential right on Lake Manitoba.
Why Lake Manitoba?
-NO LAND ACQUISITION TIME OR COST.
-Shallow lake. Easy to construct on from barge or caisson.
-Reliable flat wind.
-Under 100km from Winnipeg (less distribution cost).
-Wind is the lowest LCOE and fastest to build.
I
repeat 2,500mw. Almost a 50% increase from all current generation from this resource alone.
