Chebucto Windfield is a Community Economic Development Corporation, part of a family of community windfields, which operates in the Halifax Regional Municipality. Our mandate, as managers of a Community Economic Development Investment Fund, is to raise capital through the sale of shares and invest this money in renewable energy companies owned and operated in Nova Scotia.
While Chebucto Windfield does not offer to sell electricity direct to the consumer, we are investing directly in Nova Scotian companies that can meet the consumer demand for more clean, sustainable energy.
Since 2006, Chebucto Windfield has invested over $374,600 on behalf of our shareholders in leading, independant renewable energy companies in Nova Scotia including Scotian Windfields Inc. and Renewable Energy Services Ltd.
The renewable energy industry is expanding in Nova Scotia, and with this growth there is the need for investment capital. Chebucto Windfield and its investors can provide this capital, and together take ownership in a community based model for sustainable renewable energy development.
Scotian WindFields Inc, Killiam Properties and Chebucto Windfield Inc. Celebrate Global Wind Day at Lake Echo
June 15th, 2010 Lake Echo, NS -
Scotian WindFields Inc is pleased to announce the installation of its latest wind turbines in Lake Echo, Nova Scotia. Mountainview Estates, a manufactured home community owned by Killam Properties Inc., will enjoy the benefits of a 50kW Endurance wind turbine and a 6kW Scirocco wind turbine. The 50kw machine provides three phase power to the community’s water supply and waste water treatment facilities, while the single phase machine provides electricity to power the community’s street lights and Killam’s other electrical needs.
“We are excited to announce such an innovative project on Global Wind Day”, said Scotian WindFields Chief Operating Officer Daniel Roscoe, “This project is a great example of both businesses taking a lead with respect to our dependence on fossil fuels and how renewable energy systems can help stabilize the cost of services important to us, such as provision of drinking water”.
“Killam Properties is committed to managing its exposure to energy costs with investments in green initiatives” noted Philip Fraser, Killam’s President and CEO. “The electricity generated through the wind turbines at Mountainview Estates is net metered against Killam’s electricity usage at the community, allowing a perfect hedge against rising electricity costs.”

Without it, companies throw around meaningless labels like sustainable, green, and eco-friendly. These claims ring hollow in the ears of consumers, unless they can back them up with solid accounting principles.”
