CALGARY, Dec. 17, 2018 /CNW/ - Greengate Power Corporation ("Greengate") is pleased to announce that its 113 MW Stirling Wind Project ("Stirling Wind") was awarded a 20-year Renewable Electricity Support Agreement ("RESA") by the Alberta Electric System Operator ("AESO").

"The Stirling Wind Project is among the first successful renewable energy project partnerships between industry and a first nations community in Alberta. We applaud the Government of Alberta for the continued success of its Renewable Electricity Program which is delivering long-term, low-cost clean power for Albertans," said Dan Balaban, President and Chief Executive Officer of Greengate. "Stirling is the third wind energy project successfully developed by Greengate in Alberta and demonstrates Greengate's continued leadership in Alberta's fast-growing renewable energy sector.
