RWE Renewables has started commercial operations at its 125MW Cassadaga wind farm in the US.
The project, located in Chautauqua County, is powered by 27 Nordex and 10 Siemens Gamesa turbines and has the capacity to provide clean energy for more than 37,000 households.
Cassadaga is RWE’s 29th onshore wind farm in the U.S. and represents RWE’s second onshore wind project in New York.
“We’re proud to be a leader in development in New York state, as Cassadaga marks the first project completed under the state’s Article 10 law,” said Silvia Ortin, CEO Wind Onshore and PV.
“We thank the state and local officials for their outstanding support allowing us to bring significant investment to Chautauqua county.”
The US accounts for more than one third of the RWE Group’s renewables capacity playing a “key role” in the German outfit’s strategy to grow its renewables business and get to net zero by 2040.
