Constructed in 2000, Madison Wind Farm was the first commercial wind farm in New York. Horizon purchased the project in 2005. Madison Wind Farm consists of 7 Vestas V66 1.65 MW turbines and has an installed capacity of 12 MW - enough to power 3,000 average New York homes with clean energy each year. In addition to generating clean energy, the wind farm has been key in generating interest in wind energy throughout the Northeast United States. The wind farm’s electricity flows into the New York energy grid. Renewable energy credits are contracted to the New York Power Authority.
