state-wide initiative to get more energy from renewable sources. On June 17, 2008, Noble held a groundbreaking ceremony to officially mark the start of construction and to celebrate the support of the local community. Presently, Noble has completed construction on the 126 megawatt (MW) windpark, which employs 84 GE 1.5 MW turbines. Over the next 20 years, the Noble Wethersfield Windpark will bring an estimated $77.5 million to the local economy.

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 Wethersfield Windpark creates enough clean energy to provide the annual electricity needs of approximately 42,000 homes. 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 would have to burn 2.8 million tons of coal - it would take a train 325 miles long to hold that much coal!
