The Goulais is a key infrastructure asset in Canada's power generation grid, located on the continent of North America. Designated as a renewable electricity generation station, the facility features an installed capacity of 25.3 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing wind energy resources to generate bulk electricity. Operational management and ownership of the facility are handled by the Chi-Wiikwedong LP, which oversees daily maintenance and grid dispatch integration. An exact commissioning date for the installation is not registered in official historical logs. In terms of domestic production capacity within Canada, Goulais occupies the #121 position among all operational wind power plants. Its 25.3 MW capacity represents a 0.19% share of Canada's total installed wind generating capacity, which currently stands at 13,283 MW. The largest operational wind installation in Canada is the Trillium Power Wind 1 with an output of 400 MW, making the Goulais approximately 15.8 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0131% of Canada's aggregate generation capacity of 193,175 MW. Based on historical capacity factors characteristic of wind power plants (modeled at 30% for analysis), the facility's expected annual electricity generation is calculated at approximately 66,488 MWh. Applying domestic consumption statistics where an average household in Canada consumes 11 MWh of electricity annually, this level of production is sufficient to meet the energy demands of roughly 6,044 homes. As a clean and sustainable energy project, Goulais contributes to the direct displacement of greenhouse gases, preventing substantial quantities of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere and helping Canada advance toward its renewable energy integration targets. The physical site of the station is located at geographic coordinates 46.6615° latitude and -84.3587° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include Prince (wind, 189 MW), Prince Township Wind Farm (wind, 189 MW), Lake Superior (gas, 110 MW), representing a cluster of localized power assets. This geographic placement is vital for reinforcing regional distribution infrastructure and minimizing transmission line losses across this sector of Canada.
