New Phase of Construction of 104MW Project
Invenergy’s Number Three Wind Farm to generate 104MW
of clean energy, bringing jobs and economic investment to the Lewis County
region
Lewis County, NY
(May 10, 2022) — This week, wind turbine delivery for the 104-megawatt
Number Three Wind Farm began in Lewis County. Number Three Wind Farm will
provide locally-sourced, clean electricity to
Lewis County and bring over $1 million a year in economic investment to the
community.
The delivery of
turbines marks another significant phase of construction after breaking
ground in July of 2021. The project is helping to build and grow New York’s
clean energy workforce, supporting up to 330 jobs throughout the
construction process. Number Three Wind is expected to be operational later
this year.
“After careful
planning and siting, we are excited for turbines to be delivered for Number
Three Wind. We look forward to bringing clean energy and economic benefits
for the region, including $1 million in property taxes each year. The
project will not only benefit the local community it will also help New
York meet the State’s growing electricity needs,” said Marguerite
Wells, project developer of Number Three Wind Farm.
Once completed,
Invenergy’s Number Three Wind Farm will be comprised of 27 wind turbines
capable of generating 104 megawatts of clean energy – enough to power up to
40,000 homes each year. The wind turbines will be located
in the towns of Lowville and Harrisburg in Lewis County.
