Filling our Electricity Needs
Summerside is a unique municipality in that almost half of our residents’ energy needs are provide by green wind energy. We have systems in place to harness the power of the wind, and the majority of our additional electricity needs are purchased off-island.
We have long-term contracts in place with NB Power and with the PEI Energy Corporation through its North Cape and East Point wind farms.
Any of our electricity requirements not met by the above methods are filled through short-term contracts based on wholesale market pricing. This normally comes from New England in the form of natural gas.
