Existing and proposed wind projects in NYS

NYPA brings its Great Lakes Offshore Wind (GLOW) outreach to Syracuse this week for a forum with developers and suppliers of wind components.  New York State has a strong wind industry, and a robust infrastructure to support wind energy development.  The DEC maintains a list of existing and proposed wind projects in NYS, with available websites.  Here is that list, updated as of June 2010:

Cattaraugus County
 Chautauqua County
Delaware County
Erie County
Franklin County
Genesee County
Herkimer County
Jefferson County
Lewis County
Madison County
Steuben County
Tompkins County
Wyoming County
Another interesting source of information is the Wind Power Law website, which covers incentives, programs and policy debates related to wind in NYS. 

That website also contains a good list of projects:
