TransAlta Corporation (TSE: TA.TO) (NYSE: TAC), Canada’s largest wind power company, confirmed Monday it will build a CDN$205-million 66-megawatt (MW) wind power project on the Gaspe Peninsula of Quebec at New Richmond. Output is contracted under a 20-year power purchase agreement with Hydro-Quebec and is expected to begin in Q4 2012.

In a world market that is consumed with "smaller and faster" it seems when it comes to wind power companies are still racing towards the "bigger is better" business model.

If you've never heard of Bonaire, you're not alone. The Dutch-ruled 113-square-mile island in the Netherlands Antilles—about 50 miles off the northern coast of Venezuela—is primarily known as a destination for diving and snorkeling enthusiasts (because of its protected reef system).

Penghu, an archipelago of 90 small islands in the Taiwan Strait once occupied by Japanese troops during colonial rule and now a popular tourist destination, plans to pump more than 10 billion Taiwan dollars (US$313 million) into developing wind energy.
