The path to responsible development

At First Wind, we understand it takes more than just a steady breeze for a wind farm to be successful, which is why we take a rigorous scientific approach to exploring the role of a wind farm in each community. This multi-step process includes meteorological wind measurement, sound modeling, environmental studies, tower placement analysis, and more. Our goal at the GenWy Wind project is to provide permitting authorities with the in-depth information required to help ensure compliance with environmental standards and maximize the benefits to the local community.

Ongoing studies at GenWy:

Wind data collection
Environmental studies in preliminary review
New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) feasibility study
NYISO System Reliability Impact Study (SRIS)
NYISO Optional Interconnection Study (OIS)
