Texas–based power company looks to install 33 wind turbines in Broome County

SANFORD, N.Y. — Bluestone Wind, a subsidiary of Calpine, is applying to build a 124-megawatt wind farm in Sanford and Windsor, in eastern Broome County.

According to documents filed with the New York State Board on Electric Generation Siting and the Environment, the wind farm will include up to 33 wind turbines along with weather towers, buried power lines, access roads, a maintenance building and a substation that includes battery storage.

Houston, Texas—based Calpine first notified the state of its interest in building the Bluestone Wind Farm project in 2016.
