Maple Ridge Wind Farm— 322 MW Wind
The Maple Ridge Wind Farm is a key player in the renewable energy sector in the United States, located at coordinates 43.7853, -75.5753. With a capacity of 322 MW, this wind power generation facility contributes significantly to the local and national energy landscape by harnessing wind energy through modern wind turbine technology. Commissioned in 2006 and operated by Flat Rock Windpower LLC, the Maple Ridge Wind Farm utilizes advanced onshore wind turbines that convert wind kinetic energy into electricity, providing a clean and sustainable energy source. The facility's contribution is vital in reducing carbon emissions and supporting the United States' commitment to renewable energy targets. Situated in New York State, the wind farm plays a critical role in the regional energy grid, especially as the state pushes for greener energy solutions to meet its energy demands. New York's energy policy emphasizes the transition to renewable sources, and the Maple Ridge Wind Farm exemplifies this shift by providing reliable power while minimizing environmental impact. The operational success of the wind farm is complemented by its capacity to deliver energy even during peak demand periods, making it a significant asset for both local utilities and consumers. As wind energy continues to grow in importance within the U.S. energy portfolio, the Maple Ridge Wind Farm stands out as a leading example of effective renewable energy generation.
