New York's wind energy development has
grown exponentially in the last decade. In 1999, New York had no wind
energy generation. By December 2008, however, 831 megawatts (MW) had
been constructed. Each MW is enough generation to power approximately
500 NYC apartments.* That means that in 2008 enough wind generated
electricity was produced in New York State to power over 300,000 NYC
apartments!
New York has 15 wind farms that generate
electricity, including the Fenner Wind Farm in Madison County and the
Maple Ridge Wind Farm in Lewis County. Nearly 463 MW are currently
under construction. New York ranks 15th on the list of states with the
greatest wind energy potential and 9th on the list of states for
wind-powered electricity generation. Green power programs (like
ConEdison Solutions' Green
Power Program) increase the demand for new wind energy resources,
driving new wind farm development. Likewise, the introduction of the
New York State renewable portfolio standard helps increase demand for
new projects by requiring that 25% of the electricity generated within
the state come from renewable sources by the year 2013. Together,
green power programs and the renewable portfolio standard will continue
to encourage new wind energy projects in New York. Visit www.AWEA.org for more information on wind energy in New York and the US.
