Ellenburg Wind, located in the Town of Ellenburg in Clinton County, New York, is an existing 81 MW wind park planned to be repowered by AES. This project reduces carbon dioxide emissions by an estimated 111,474 metric tons each year, producing enough electricity to power approximately 20,200 homes annually.
Operational since 2008, Ellenburg Wind is a project to which AES is excited to bring new life. The repowering of the wind park will incorporate significant component and control systems replacement with design improvements, resulting in greater energy production and improved energy reliability and availability. Repowering will ensure continued, significant economic benefits to the local community via HCA (Host Community Agreements) and PILOT (Payments in Lieu of Taxes) agreements.
Making a difference in Clinton County: AES' Social Impact Program
Since 2022, AES has collaborated with stakeholders in Clinton County through our dedicated Social Impact Program. With contributions exceeding $120,000.00, we focus on increasing access to safe, efficient, and affordable energy and basic services, fostering inclusive economic growth and education, enhancing community resilience, and promoting environmental sustainability.
Partnering for Community Resilience
The Ellenburg Center Fire Department
- Supported vital capital improvements and renovations. These enhancements aim to create a designated room for EMS service usage, ensuring that community health and safety services are robust and resilient, ready to respond effectively to emergencies.
Partnering for Access to Basic Services
Altona Fire Department
- We provided funding for the acquisition of a new fire truck. This new addition to the department’s fleet ensures that the community has access to reliable and efficient emergency response services, enhancing overall safety and resilience.
Churubusco Fire Department
- A grant was allocated for the purchase of two new self-contained breathing apparatuses, complete with thermal imaging facepieces and spare bottles. This advanced equipment is critical for the safety and effectiveness of the firefighters, allowing them to operate more efficiently and safely in emergency situations.
Partnering for Inclusive Economic Growth and Education
North Adirondacks CSD
- AES donated to the NACSD to implement branding on their school campus. This initiative aims to increase school visibility and pride, fostering a sense of community and enhancing the educational environment.
These initiatives in Clinton County are part of AES’ broader mission to create positive social impact through strategic partnerships and investments. We proudly support our host communities by enhancing emergency services, promoting health and safety, supporting education, and increasing access to basic services. Our commitment to these goals is unwavering as we seek opportunities to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the people we serve.
