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, particularly to women and children. Read more about energy and the environment on our FAQs page.
The Noble Chateaugay Windpark creates enough clean energy to provide the annual electricity needs of approximately 35,500 homes. Ever wonder how the "homes powered" number is calculated? Click here to find out.
To make that much energy from coal, you would have to burn 2.45 million tons of coal - over 20 years, that's a pile of coal 25 acres square and 79 feet deep!

Economic benefits

The Noble Chateaugay Windpark makes tax and town benefit payments to the town of Chateaugay, Franklin County, and the Chateaugay Central School District.
This money can be used to reduce local taxes and improve local services.
Lease payments to participating landowners also provide a significant source of income to the local community. Read about how wind energy benefits the economy on our FAQ page.
