The new Horse Creek Wind Farm application presents a slightly smaller, less productive project than the original application.
The project cuts out 12 turbines and knocks down generating capacity from 130 megawatts to 100 megawatts.
"There are not major changes," Jenny L. Burke, business developer with project developer Iberdrola Renewables, said on Jan. 6 when the project application was submitted to the Clayton Planning Board. "A lot of it is similar to what you have seen from the first time."
The remaining turbines can generate up to 2 megawatts, slightly less than the 2.1 megawatt-turbines originally proposed. But the turbines will be taller than the first proposal, which expected to use turbines with a maximum height of 407 feet. The new application expects to use Gamesa turbines, either model G90 or G97, which have maximum heights of 476 feet and 454 feet, respectively.
