The Atlantic Wind Test Site Inc. (AWTS) is Canada's facility for the testing
and development of wind energy technology. Located at North Cape, the
northernmost tip of Prince Edward Island, the facility has been a key
participant in the Canadian wind energy program since 1980. Jointly funded
by Natural Resources Canada and the Province of Prince Edward Island, AWTS
has evolved to meet the changing needs of the national wind energy program.
Currently, projects are selected with emphasis is on economic viability, and
most of today's projects concern wind energy applications that have near
term commercial potential.
