CCWF currently owns and operates an Enercon E-53 (800 kilo-watts) wind turbine. The machine was installed and commissioned at the Spiddle Hill site in July, 2011. The following photo (taken during installation) shows the turbine in the foreground, with Tatamagouche in the background.

CCWF’s current operations may be highlighted through the following ‘fun facts’:
- The site powers (on average) 300 homes in the surrounding area
- Each year, Spiddle Hill reduces the provinces greenhouse gas production by approximately 4,000 tonnes
- All power produced is distributed through the Tatamagouche substation, meaning shareholders consume the power they produce!
