Located in Vulcan County, the project features 166 Vestas V100-1.8MW wind turbines.
The project is expected to generate more than 1,000GWh of energy, which is enough to power about 140,000 homes annually.
EDF EN Canada and Enbridge will each own 50% of the project, which represents the largest investment in wind energy in Western Canada at about C$600m ($552m).
Pacific Gas and Electric will buy the renewable energy credits (RECs) generated from the project under a 20-year purchase agreement.
The electricity generated from the facility will be sold into the Alberta power pool through mid- and long-term contracts.
EDF EN Canada engineering and construction vice president Benoit Rigal said the project will deliver clean and renewable energy to the grid.
"Bringing all 300 megawatts of the Blackspring Ridge project to completion safely and ahead of schedule is a result of outstanding efforts by Mortenson, Vestas, Altalink, and our team who worked hand in hand to overcome many challenges, including an aggressive delivery schedule," Rigal added.
EDF said the project will also contribute to helping Enbridge meet its Neutral Footprint commitment, which includes generating a kilowatt of renewable energy for every additional kilowatt of conventional power that the company’s operations utilise.
