With its excellent wind resource, the Noble Ball Hill Windpark is ideally positioned to provide economic and clean energy benefits resulting from a state-wide initiative to increase electric power generation from renewable energy sources.

Recently, Noble has completed the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS); click here to view the CURRENT FACILITY MAP.

The Noble Ball Hill Windpark, approximately 94.5 megawatts, would yield the following benefits for its host communities:

Job creation

• A windpark can create a significant number of new jobs during construction, and fewer long-term, well-paying jobs when operational. Learn more about the kind of jobs that windparks create on our FAQs page.
• Noble is committed to hiring qualified residents and companies from the local and regional New York communities.

Clean energy

• Wind energy is 100% clean and renewable. Unlike fossil fuel power plants, wind energy creates no pollution - no acid rain, no smog, and no mercury, which is a harmful toxin, particulary to women and children. Read more about energy and the environment on our FAQs page.
• The Noble Ball Hill Windpark could create enough clean energy to provide the annual electricity needs of approximately 31,500 homes - that's nearly 50% of the housing units in Chautauqua County! Ever wonder how the "homes powered" number is calculated? Click here to find out.
• To make that much energy from coal, over 20 years you’d have to burn 2.14 million tons of coal – it would take a train 243 miles long to hold that much coal!

Economic benefits

• Tax payments from the Noble Ball Hill Windpark would help reduce local taxes and improve local services. Read about how wind energy benefits the economy on our FAQ page.
• Lease payments to participating landowners and purchases from local vendors and service providers would significantly contribute to the local economy.

Noble Environmental Power submitted an application to the town of Villenova, NY in which we propose to install and operate an approximately 94.5 MW windpark.

The application to the town of Villenova, NY kicked off the New York State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) process. Noble has prepared and submitted a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), which assesses the environmental impact of the project, evaluates reasonable alternatives, and examines potential mitigation measures.
