The nearly $200m wind project, which will be powered by 37 American-made Gamesa wind turbines standing on 100m towers, will produce enough electricity to power over 25,000 New York homes each year.

The tower sections are manufactured in Wisconsin with the blades, nacelle, and hub being manufactured in Pennsylvania.

Hardscrabble wind power project located in the towns of Fairfield, Norway, and Little Falls has already created nearly 200 construction jobs so far, which includes pouring turbine foundations, transporting components, installing electrical systems, and building roads.

In addition to job creation, the Hardscrabble wind power project will contribute to the local economy by making a number of one-time and recurring payments to landowners and local jurisdictions over the life of the project.

The new wind project, which is one of seven new wind farms Iberdrola Renewables currently has under construction around the US, is expected to be complete and begin delivering electricity at the end of the year.
