Stetson Wind Farm Ready

(Editor Note: Some good news to start the week off. Keep the wind farms coming....)

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — A wind-energy project that will produce the equivalent power needs of 23,500 homes officially goes on line this week when Gov. John Baldacci attends an opening ceremony for the 57-megawatt project in Stetson.

The 38-turbine wind farm along Stetson Mountain’s long, low ridgeline of 600 to 1,200 feet is the second in the state completed by First Wind, whose Mars Hill project has been until now New England’s largest commercial wind power project. Together, they will produce just under 100 megawatts of power.
