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.
Calpine had been a publicly held company until March of this year when a group of investors took the company private. It has 80 power plants in 18 states and Canada. According to the company, Bluestone would be the business’s first wind-power farm.
