New 74MW Wind Farm Now Under Construction in NY
Iberdrola Renewables recently began construction at its newest wind farm project, in Herkimer County, New York. Large wind turbine components arrive almost daily by truck, laying the groundwork for the 74 megawatt (MW) Hardscrabble Wind Power Project in the towns of Fairfield, Norway, and Little Falls. The nearly $200 million wind project, which is expected to complete construction and begin delivering emission-free electricity at the end of the year, is one of seven new wind farms Iberdrola Renewables currently has under construction around the U.S.
The project has already created nearly 200 construction jobs so far, which includes pouring turbine foundations, transporting components, installing electrical systems, and building roads, with the on-site crew increasing now that turbine installation has begun. Once complete, the project will permanently employ a staff of six technicians to operate the site.
