What is the Setapuktuk wind project?

The Setapuktuk wind project is a proposed 54-turbine, 432-megawatt wind farm in Guysborough County, Nova Scotia that will power EverWind Fuels' planned green hydrogen and ammonia production facility in Point Tupper.

How will the Setapuktuk wind farm impact the environment?

The Setapuktuk wind farm project is expected to cause some loss and alteration of fish habitat, wetlands, and certain at-risk plant and lichen species in the area. However, EverWind says the overall project will not result in significant adverse environmental impacts.

When will the Setapuktuk wind farm be built?

Pending approval, construction on the Setapuktuk wind farm is expected to begin in late 2026 and take 36 months to complete.

Summary

EverWind Fuels files for environmental assessment of 54-turbine, 432-MW wind project
Wind farm to power green hydrogen and ammonia production facility in Point Tupper
Project could impact fish habitat, wetlands, and some at-risk plant and lichen species

As of October 2025, EverWind Fuels, an Australian-led company, has filed for environmental assessment to construct the largest onshore wind farm in Nova Scotia. The proposed 54-turbine, 432-megawatt Setapuktuk wind project will be located in Guysborough County, where the Strait of Canso meets Chedabucto Bay.

EverWind's goal is to develop a green hydrogen and ammonia production facility in Point Tupper, Nova Scotia, and power it using the wind energy generated from this new wind farm. The company has already received environmental approval for the plant and three other onshore wind projects.

While the Setapuktuk wind farm would lead to some loss and alteration of fish habitat, wetlands, and certain at-risk plant and lichen species, EverWind maintains that the overall project will not result in significant adverse environmental impacts. The company has reduced the original plan from 84 turbines to 54 in an effort to minimize potential effects.

Pending approval, construction on the Setapuktuk wind farm is expected to commence in late 2026 and take 36 months to complete. The province is currently accepting public comments on the environmental assessment until November 12, 2025.
