The wind farm consists of ten Vestas V90 wind turbines 3 MW. Annual production will be 90-95 million kilowatt hours. The average house uses about 8,000 kilowatt hours of electricity annually so the wind farm will produce enough electricity to power about 12,000 homes.[3] The Eastern Kings Wind Farm was projected to supply about 7.5% of PEI's electricity and displace 75,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases per year. The project capital cost was approximately $47 million.[4]
