It's about to get a whole lot more chilly — and blustery — for much of southern and central B.C.

It's an impressive sight. A wind farm visible from the Okanagan Connector near the Pennask Summit.

After many years of development, and nine months of heavy lifting, the 10 Sevion 3.2 M114 CCV wind turbines are now providing power to the province’s electricity grid. The Pennask project is located just west of Pennask Summit, north of Highway 97C and the Shinish Creek project is located 30 kilometres west of Summerland. WATCH:...

The Okanagan will soon have a harness on wind power in the region with two turbine facilities now under construction.
