Terra Nova Renewable Partners has started commercial operations at its 51MW Hancock wind farm in Maine.
New England contractor Reed & Reed built the 17-turbine project, which features Vestas V117 3.3MW turbines on 116.5-metre towers.
The wind farm is interconnected to the transmission system owned by Emera Maine and operated by ISO New England.
The project has two long-term power purchase agreements. Massachusetts Municipal Wholesale Electric signed up for 37.5MW of capacity for 25 years and Burlington Electric of Vermont agreed to buy 13.5MW for 10 years.
In October, US Bancorp affiliate Firstar Development bought an interest in the Hancock project in a tax equity transaction.
