The Nain Wind Microgrid Project (The Project) is a renewable energy project being developed between the Nunatsiavut Government and independent power producer, Natural Forces in the community of Nain, Labrador.

The Project consists of 2 wind turbine generators (WTG’s) and a battery energy storage system (BESS) connected to the existing remote electrical grid in Nain, significantly reducing the demand for diesel generator use to power the town.

Construction of the Project will start in Q2, 2026 with project completion targeted for late 2027 – early 2028. The WTG components are planned to arrive at a Canadian Port in the September –November 2026 timeframe and will be stored overwinter. The WTG components and associated equipment will be transported to Nain the following year, somewhere within in the August – October 2027 period.

Project construction will require an experienced and capable transport and logistics provider (Service Provider) to handle, store, and transport the WTG components and support equipment from the Canadian port of entry to Nain, returning support equipment and shipping frames once the WTG is erected and cranes are ready for demobilization from Nain.
