State Awards $14 Million In Grants To Somerset County Wind Farm

A Somerset County wind farm will receive nearly $14 million in state grant money, according to the Tribune-Review:

EverPower Wind Holdings Inc., a New York investment firm that has an office in Lawrenceville, will receive a $12.65 million Renewable Energy Program grant, the state Department of Community and Economic Development said yesterday. Twin Ridges Wind Farm, a nearly 140-megawatt operation, is to be built in Northampton, Southampton, Larimer and Greensville townships in Somerset County.
The $238.8 million wind farm is expected to be running by the end of the year, officials said.
EverPower received the bulk of about $13.8 million the state announced for six projects across six counties for clean, alternative and renewable energy sources. All of the projects are expected to generate nearly $232 million in additional private economic investment, with the vast majority — $226.2 million — in Somerset County, the state said.
