[edit] Construction

The construction on the twenty windmills that make up the Fenner Wind Farm started in June 2001 and were finished later that year. [1]

The turbines used were made by the famous giant Enron before the collapse of the company. The twenty turbines were situated in an ideal location for catching incoming wind. [2]

[edit] Specifications

The turbines of the Fenner Wind Farm are 1.5 Megawatts each for a total wattage of thirty megawatts. The wind farm is owned by Canastota Energy. The energy produced at the farm provides about 7000 houses worth of electricity. [3]
