Capital Power’s Halkirk 2 Wind facility began commercial operations on December 15, 2025. The facility is located on privately owned land about 5 km north of our existing Halkirk 1 Wind facility in the County of Paintearth, Alberta.
Halkirk 2 Wind utilizes Vestas V150-4-5TM wind turbine technology. The V150 platform is the largest wind turbine Capital Power has installed to date. It has a 105 m hub height; 150 m rotor diameter and 74 m blade length.
