Skypower’s parent company files for bankruptcy protection

The largest developer of renewable energy in Canada, SkyPower is a partner with Scotian Windfields in the Digby Neck wind park development, and has interests in projects in eight provinces.

The price tag on the Digby Neck wind park is $80 million.

In an interview with the Courier in July, Barry Zwicker said SkyPower’s role in the project was critical. “SkyPower has access to turbines and extensive funds to allow the project to be funded. There are no sources for 80 million dollars that we have found in Nova Scotia.”
