PSC allowing wind farm to install bigger turbines
SUNDAY, JUNE 19, 2011

The state Public Service Commission voted Thursday to allow Marble River Wind Farm to install the largest turbines in the state.

The project, in the towns of Clinton and Ellenburg in Clinton County, will install 3-megawatt turbines that reach 492 feet high. The larger model is designed to achieve greater efficiencies of production by using new gearbox and control designs, and by increased height and blade-swept area to maximize generation potential at low and medium wind speed sites.
