More wind turbines will soon dot southern Manitoba's landscape.

Sequoia Energy has been granted licences for three wind farm projects near Miami, Killarney and Elie.


Company President Bob Spensely says they have great support from local landowners in all three areas.

 

The projects will generate 99 megawatts each and will be able to power about 100 000 homes.


All three projects involve agreements with a total of 149 landowner families.

 

Construction will likely begin in 2007 and 2008.
