BQ Energy/UPC Steel Winds Wind project – Lackawanna, NY

TVIG installed the first eight production Clipper Liberty wind turbines (2.5 MW each) on a brown-field site on the shores of Lake Erie. Construction began in September 2006 and was completed in March 2007. This site is unusual in that seventy years ago it was part of Lake Erie, but the site has been used by Bethlehem Steel as a slag dumping site for decades. The project is one part wind turbine installation for a commercial project selling to National Grid and one part environmental remediation project.
