Beginning in 2008, Anemos Energy entered into Agreements with applicable landowners to secure wind project development rights in an area south of Schreiber, between Schreiber Beach and Worthington Bay, which includes Mount Gwynne. The project proposal was publicly introduced during a Town Council meeting which took place in December 2008.

Before construction can begin on a utility scale wind power generation project, many important activities must be completed.

One task which begins early in the project development process is measurement and recording of wind data at the site. This involves installation of a temporary wind monitoring tower (also known as a meteorological assessment tower, or "met" tower, for short) which will remain in place for about 2 years.

In preparation for this, a met tower installation contractor was engaged and visited the site this summer to investigate logistics issues and select a suitable location for installation of the met tower. In addition, permits were applied for and received from the Town of Schreiber, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, NavCanada, and Transport Canada. The met tower equipment was ordered from the supplier and the selected installation location was prepared. Installation of the met tower is now due to take beginning on Monday 15 November.

Additional activities still to follow include environmental studies, municipal permitting and further public consultation. Sharing information with and receiving feedback from the community will be a primary goal throughout the development process.
