New Hampshire has long depended on the health of its ecosystem to sustain the tourism, forestry, and fishing industries. To do its part in helping to battle the adverse effects of global warming, New Hampshire enacted the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS), a state-wide initiative to increase electric power generation from renewable energy resources. Read about the possible effects of climate change in New Hampshire, on the NH Department of Environmental Services website.

With it's good wind resource, the Granite Reliable Power Windpark is ideally positioned to provide economic and clean energy benefits resulting from the RPS. Noble Environmental Power is assessing the land in the Phillips Brook area to determine its suitability for a windpark. Our initial estimates suggest that Coos County could support up to a 99 megawatt windpark, which would yield the following benefits for surrounding communities:
