EDP Renewables North America has started commercial operation at the 77.7MW Jericho Rise wind farm in northern New York State.
The New York Power Authority has completed work at a Franklin County substation allowing the wind farm to tie into the state power grid.
EDPR installed 37 Gamesa G114 2.1MW turbines at a site in the towns of Chateaugay and Bellmont.
The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority awarded the project with state funding in a 2014 solicitation.
The developer also has closed a $342m tax equity financing with Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Bank of New York Mellon in exchange for interests in Jericho Rise and the 250MW Hidalgo project in Texas.
