Enercon to build second Canadian concrete tower plant
 

Enercon expects to open an Ontario factory in 2013 for production of precast concrete segments for towers to support wind turbines at heights between 85- and an eventual 140-metres, Adrienne Downey, operations and business development manager, tells Recharge.

The facility in the province’s Niagara district reflects the German vendor’s recent success in Canada, where it has supply contracts for almost 1.25GW of turbines to Quebec during the next five years. It as well was chosen by developer Niagara Region Wind to provide 77 3MW turbines for a project in Ontario.
Enercon has as well installed turbines in Ontario, is finishing a one-turbine installation in Saskatchewan, and working on projects in Alberta, British Columbia and Nova Scotia.

As of 1 June, Enercon had installed 336 turbines totalling 744MW nameplate capacity in Canada.
Downey says the company’s other concrete tower segment plant in Matane, Quebec, is too distant to serve the Ontario market. It was inaugurated in June 2011 and has annual production capacity of 150 towers in heights of 85-, 98- and 108-metres.

Previously this year, the company announced it will build another plant in Niagara that will fabricate electric parts for converters and control panels, creating 50 full-time jobs there. The facility will as well serve as a regional base for Enercon’s projects service division.
The company claims to be the largest employer in Canada’s wind manufacturing sector with 400 employees, doubling its payroll to 800 in 2015.

  • Why Mexico, Canada can discount Trump’s remarks on NAFTA?

    2017/08/26 Mexico and Canada may discount US President Donald Trump’s remarks about the country’s withdrawal from the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), Russell A. Green, Will Clayton Fellow in International Economics at Rice University's Baker Institute (Houston) told Trend. "Trump’s threat to withdraw completely from NAFTA should be taken seriously. Nonetheless, there are reasons Mexico and Canada may discount his remarks. Initial, the remarks came during a political rally and may have been directed additional at supporters than the negotiations. Second, there is very little support for withdrawing from NAFTA in Congress, so Trump risks further alienating significant portions of his own party. Third, some legal scholars have offered that the president does not even have the power to do so. While foreign policy treaties like alliances may be canceled by the president autonomously, trade treaties are not the same. They fall under the Commerce Clause in the US Constitution, which stipulates that Congress has authority," the expert explained.
