About: Trillium Power Wind 1

Trillium Power Wind 1 (TPW1) was a proposed 450 to 500 megawatt (MW) far-offshore wind farm in the Canadian waters of northeastern Lake Ontario at least 17 to 28 km (11 to 17 mi) from the nearest mainland. This renewable energy project was being developed by Trillium Power Wind Corporation, a privately, Canadian-owned company headquartered in Toronto, Ontario. The project was cancelled by the Ontario government on February 11, 2011. Had it not been cancelled TPW1 would have been among the first offshore wind farms built in the Great Lakes. Trillium's subsequent lawsuit was struck down almost in its entirety by the Ontario Court of Appeal which ruled that it could proceed with a claim for misfeasance in public office.
