The wind facility, which has three GE 1.5MW machines on site, was dedicated to Fox Islands Wind. On average, the project is expected to generate approximately 11,600MW hours of electricity per year, supplying the island’s communities with year-round cleaner power.

Victor Abate, vice president – renewables of GE power and water, said: “This project demonstrates wind energy’s reliability and cost-effectiveness. The Fox Islands Wind Project should serve as an example of how safe, clean, renewable wind energy can power America and create jobs. GE is proud to be a part of this project and we’re confident that wind power will be a major source of clean, affordable energy for communities large and small.”
