How many coal-fired or nuclear plants will close or use less fuel as a result of the East Hill Wind farm?
It is highly unlikely that any nuclear plants will be shut down due to the construction of the East Hill Wind Farm, or other wind power projects. However, we are confident that electricity generated from New York fossil fuel powered plants, including coal, oil and gas will be displaced by renewable power generated from wind. The East Hill Wind Farm has the opportunity to displace enough fossil power that could power up to 31,000 average New York homes.
