The Mesgi'g Ugju's'n (MU) Wind Farm, "big wind" in Mi'gmaq is a 149.25 megawatt (MW) wind farm currently under construction in eastern Quebec, Canada. The MU wind farm is expected to produce enough electricity to power approximately 30,000 homes.[2] The wind project is owned and developed in a 50-50 partnership between the three Mi’gmaq First Nations (Listuguj, Gesgapegiag, Gespeg[3]) and Innergex Renewable Energy.[4][5]
The wind farm became operational in 2017.
