Main components of the Prince Wind farm:

• 126 GE SLE 1.5 MW wind turbines
• 90 kilometers of underground collector cables.
• 11.2 kilometers of above ground transmission line
• two electrical substations that step-up the voltage for the grid to 230 kV (Prince 1 TS, Prince 2 TS).
• One Switching Station (Heyden SS), for interconnection into the Great Lake Power Transmission system.
• 50 kilometers of access roads.
• Meteorological towers, used for weather data acquisition. Unlike modern wind farms in Ontario, Prince Wind Farm does not provide met data to the Independent Electricity System Operator(IESO) from its met towers.{{Cite web|url=http://www.ieso.ca/Documents/exemptions/ex_1344_rec.pdf|title=IESO Staff Recommendation to Panel on Exemption Application (General)|last=|first=|date=April 22, 2013|website=IESO|publisher=IESO|access-date=October 10, 2016}}
• An operations and maintenance building located in west Sault Ste. Marie.

Prince Wind Farm has secured 30 land owner agreements with private land owners and 20 turbines are located on crown land.

Early development for Prince Wind Farm began in 2000, when Brookfield started the environmental assessment process, wind data collection and lease negotiations. Prince Wind Farm was the first wind farm that Brookfield Renewable Power developed and constructed.

Phase I construction begun in September 2005 and achieved commercial operation on September 21, 2006. Phase II begun in January 2006 and achieved commercial operation on November 19, 2006.
