Invenergy and Clean Path NY partners, energyRe and the New York Power Authority (NYPA) have announced the completion of the almost 104MW Number Three Wind Energy Center.
Number Three Wind, developed and constructed by Invenergy, is one of more than 20 new wind and solar assets in Clean Path NY’s 3800MW renewable power portfolio, which will deliver 7.5m MWh of emissions-free, clean electricity to New Yorkers every year.
Located in Lewis County, the project represents over $220m in total investment and is comprised of 27 wind turbines capable of generating 103.9MW of clean energy.
The project’s completion marks the first Clean Path NY renewable generation asset to reach operation.
“With the completion of Number Three Wind construction, Invenergy is proud to contribute towards the nation-leading clean energy goals of New York’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act,” said Invenergy’s Mick Baird, executive vice-president, North American Development.
