The 22-turbine Record Hill Wind project in Roxbury, Maine and the 10-turbine Spruce Mountain Wind project in Woodstock, Maine have just commenced commercial operations. Record Hill Wind, developed by Brunswick-based Independence Wind, has a nameplate capacity of 50.6 megawatts. Spruce Mountain Wind, built and operated by Patriot Renewables, has a nameplate capacity of 20 megawatts. Both projects are now generating and selling electricity into the New England power grid. Together, the projects will generate enough electricity annually to power some 30,000 Maine homes. In other Patriot Renewables news, the Massachusetts-based developer was recently recognized for its charitable donations to community organizations in the River Valley area of Oxford County, Maine.
