Point Tupper wind farm (aka Nova Scotia Wind Farm) is located south of the Point Tupper Industrial Park, which is south of Port Hawkesbury, Nova Scotia, Canada. Commissioned in 2010, it consists of 11 Enercon E82/2050 wind turbines. Together with the original E48/800 test turbine, erected in 2006 near the shore 1.4 km west of here, the 12-turbine wind farm has a combined nominal generating capacity of 23.35 MW.

This wind farm was in the news in August 2016 when one of its turbines collapsed while maintenance crews were replacing an unspecified "major component".
