As of 2023 our team has developed, commissioned and is currently operating 68 MW of community-based wind energy projects throughout Nova Scotia and New Brunswick with another 94.4 MW wind energy project that will be built together with Glooscap First Nation in Pictou County.
All of our projects are owned in partnership with First Nation communities or local communities.

As of 2023 W.E.B operates a total of 266 wind energy, 43 photovoltaic, and 3 small hydroelectric power plants throughout Europe and North America. The projects have a total nominal output of 613 MW and an annual production of 1,532,302 MWh which enables W.E.B to provide 437,800 households with renewable electricity.
Partner
As part of SWEB Energy’s ongoing efforts to develop its wind energy projects throughout Nova Scotia, partnership development with municipalities, First Nation communities, and other community-led entities is well under way. SWEB Energy anticipates that the project ownership will be distributed amongst a blend of community partners, in addition to SWEB Energy, a Nova Scotia-based company.
SWEB Energy is keen to continue working with its community partners to ensure that as much of the project benefits are distributed locally and within the province of Nova Scotia.
