A huge new wind farm is being proposed southwest of Brooks.
The Buffalo Plains Wind Farm would consist of 86 turbine towers and a peak capacity of 514 megawatts.
It would be the largest in Canada when fully built out near the village of Lomond, in Vulcan County, potentially by 2023.
The developer, a Canadian subsidiary of German renewable company ABO Wind, submitted its formal application for the project to provincial regulators on Wednesday.
