Hydro Energy Services Inc. (TH Energy) has officially received final approval from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources to build a wind research platform (anemometer) in Lake Ontario, approximately 1.2 km offshore.
The anemometer will provide factual information about the wind resource
in this area, measuring wind speed and direction at heights between 5m
to 150m using a LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) device. The
research study will be conducted for approximately two years and the
collected wind data along with other important factors will help
determine whether an offshore wind project is economically viable. TH
Energy will provide updates on a quarterly basis.
