The Smith-Putnam wind turbine is a key infrastructure asset in United States of America's power generation grid, located on the continent of North America. Designated as a renewable electricity generation station, the facility features an installed capacity of 0 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing wind energy resources to generate bulk electricity. Operational management and ownership of the facility are handled by the Smith-Putnam Wind Turbine Company, which oversees daily maintenance and grid dispatch integration. The facility was officially connected to the commercial grid in 1980, since which it has maintained regular output, playing a structured role in domestic power supply security. In terms of domestic production capacity within United States of America, Smith-Putnam wind turbine occupies the #1140 position among all operational wind power plants. Its 0 MW capacity represents a 0.00% share of United States of America's total installed wind generating capacity, which currently stands at 105,842 MW. The largest operational wind installation in United States of America is the Alta Wind VIII with an output of 1,547 MW, making the Smith-Putnam wind turbine approximately 1.0 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0000% of United States of America's aggregate generation capacity of 1,386,385 MW. Based on historical capacity factors characteristic of wind power plants (modeled at 30% for analysis), the facility's expected annual electricity generation is calculated at approximately 0 MWh. Applying domestic consumption statistics where an average household in United States of America consumes 11 MWh of electricity annually, this level of production is sufficient to meet the energy demands of roughly 0 homes. As a clean and sustainable energy project, Smith-Putnam wind turbine contributes to the direct displacement of greenhouse gases, preventing substantial quantities of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere and helping United States of America advance toward its renewable energy integration targets. The physical site of the station is located at geographic coordinates 43.6582° latitude and -73.1063° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include the Ticonderoga Mill (gas-fired, 42.1 MW), the Coolidge Solar 1 LLC (solar, 19.6 MW), the Rutland (oil-fired, 13.2 MW), representing a cluster of localized power assets. This geographic placement is vital for reinforcing regional distribution infrastructure and minimizing transmission line losses across this sector of United States of America.
