The contract award is from New York State Energy Research and Development Authority’s (NYSERDA) fifth competitive solicitation and will be funded through the New York Renewable Portfolio Standard, which supports and finances the development of renewable energy resources.
Horizon Wind Energy has over 950 MW in development in New York state and through an equal stake joint venture owns and operates the 322MW Maple Ridge Wind Farm in Lewis County. The renewable energy credits from Maple Ridge have been contracted to NYSERDA and to the New York Power Authority and various third parties since January 2006.
Gabriel Alonso, CEO of Horizon Wind Energy, said: "Horizon Wind Energy is pleased to be able to continue its relationship with NYSERDA with this wind farm contract award and we look forward to the opportunity to continue to provide clean renewable energy from wind turbines to the state of New York and its consumers."
