Madison Wind Farm

Madison Wind Farm

The Madison Wind Farm is located in the town of Madison, New York. Constructed in 2000, the wind farm consists of seven wind turbines.

History

With assistance from New York State alternative energy programs, the Madison Wind Farm was constructed. The farm consists of seven turbines made by Danish turbine producer Vestas. These seven turbines can produce enough energy for up to 10,000 homes. The power produced by these turbines are routed to New Jersey. The wind farm is owned by Horizon Wind Energy.

The Farm was created with the cooperation of the former supervisor of Madison and the town board.

When completed, the Farm was the first wind farm in New York State.

Today

The Farm is over 120 acres and the total wattage is eleven megawatts. [ [http://www.horizonwind.com/projects/whatwevedone/madison.aspx Welcome to Horizon Wind Energy ] ] The Farm's owners pay $25,000 to the Town and School budget annually, respectively.

The wind farm was visited by NYS Assemblyman Pete Lopez in a 2007 fact-finding trip. [ [http://assembly.state.ny.us/member_files/127/20070806/ Wind Tour ] ]

The windmills are a fairly popular stop off of Route 20.

This wind farm is the first of three wind farms in the county, the second being the Fenner Wind Farm nearby.
