The provincial government has committed to doubling its wind energy production over the coming years.SWEB is a subsidiary of Austria-based renewable energy developer W.E.B.
The company is hosting a public information session on the projects on Tuesday from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the St. Joseph’s Lakeside Community Centre in Antigonish County.
