St. Leon Wind Farm (French: Parc éolien de Saint-Léon) is Manitoba's first wind farm, in St. Leon, Manitoba, Canada. In the first phase completed in 2006, 63 wind turbines were erected over a 93-square-kilometre (36 sq mi) area, capable of delivering 99 megawatts (MW).[1] In 2011 a further 10 turbines were purchased, expanding the capacity of the project to 120 megawatts.[2]
