Harnessing the Wind
PEI has a great deal of wind and Summerside Electric uses the power of that wind to fulfill almost half of our residents’ energy needs.
Islanders are aware that we get a great deal of wind in our province and many wonder why we can’t solely be powered by wind energy.
If there was an inexpensive way to store wind power, our province could most likely be 100% powered by wind. However, wind power is only available when it is windy. There is currently no way to cost-prohibitive way to store excess wind power.
We continue to search for ways to keep our service as green as we can.
