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:

Clean, plentiful, affordable energy
Wind energy is 100% clean and renewable. Unlike fossil fuels 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.
With its abundant wind energy resources, Coos County has the potential to make a significant renewable energy contribution to the State of New Hampshire and New England.
New Hampshire and New England's electricity needs are growing, and we have to find new sources of electric generation.
Economic benefits
Lease payments to participating landowners and purchases from local vendors and service providers will significantly contribute to the local economy.
The Granite Reliable Power Windpark would involve a total investment of up to $200 million.
