In February of 2004 the University of Buffalo was recognized for being the largest single wind energy purchaser in New York state. In 2003 UB met 4% of its electrical needs with a power purchase from 5 of the 10 660KW Vestas turbines at the Wethersfield wind farm near Warsaw, NY, and in 2004 UB agreed to purchase the output of three of the twenty 1.5MW GE turbines at the Fenner Windfarm near Canastota, NY. These purchases allowed UB to reach the 10% green power goal called for by NYS ahead of schedule. This goal was outlined in Executive Order 111 issued by Governor Pataki in 2001and calling for all NY state agencies and authorities to fill 10% of their power needs from green sources by 2005. Are there any comparable goals for Ohio? To learn more about UB’s and the state of New York’s green power commitments go to
