Northeast Region : Marble River Wind Farm

Marble River Wind Farm has a proposed installed capacity of up to 200 megawatts (MW) - enough to power up to 60,000 average New York homes each year with clean energy. The headwaters of the Marble River originate along the western border separating the towns of Clinton and Ellenburg, New York; Marble River Wind Farm, located in the same vicinity, takes its name from this local river.
