ICommunity Liaison Committee (CLC): Meeting No. 2
Date: April 9, 2015 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

On July 24th, 2014, Goshen Wind, LP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NextEra Energy Canada, LP (f/k/a NextEra Energy Canada,
ULC)(NextEra), obtained approval from the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) to build a wind energy centre
in the Municipalities of Bluewater and South Huron in Huron County, Ontario.
We are hosting the 2"d Community Liaison Committee Meeting
Good planning involves the community so we have established a
Community Liaison Committee (CLC) to discuss key aspects of
construction, installation, use, operation, maintenance and
retirement of the Goshen Wind Energy Centre. While this
Committee is a requirement of our Renewable Energy Approval,
it is also a vital part of our continued commitment to
communicate and provide a forum to exchange ideas, share
information and to offer project updates. The purpose of the
CLC is not to re -visit those issues or concerns already addressed
through the MOECC's approval process.
About the Goshen Wind Energy Centre
The Goshen Wind Energy Centre will have a maximum
generating capacity of up to 102 megawatts, using 63 wind
turbines; which is enough clean energy to power nearly 25,000
homes. The wind farm created nearly 250 construction jobs
and 7 full-time local operations jobs. The project is estimated—over its 20 year lifespan—to contribute over $4 million to local
governments in property taxes and approximately $23 million to landowners in payments.
About the Community Liaison Committee (CLC)
In an attempt to provide a broad and balanced perspective, the Committee is intended to be made up of people with diverse
perspectives as well as varied backgrounds and experiences. Representatives of the following groups were invited to make up the
Committee: persons residing or owning lands within 1 km of the Project; other area residents and landowners; members of the
agricultural and business community; government agencies; local organizations; special interest groups; and Aboriginal, First Nation
and Metis communities. A total of four (4) CLC meetings will be facilitated by AECOM over the next two years. While committee
membership has already been established (i.e., the application process is complete,) all meeting materials (e.g., agendas, minutes,
and presentations) will be made available for public review at http://www.nexteraenergycanada.com/protects/goshen.shtml
All meetings are open so that the public can attend and observe the conversation
— requests for delegations are welcomed. To be considered for a public
deposition, please submit a request and the actual written deposition to Avril
Fisken (AECOM) by April 1, 2015.
