Sheffield
Wind Power Project
UPC Vermont Wind has made adjustments to the proposed
Sheffield Wind Project that will positively address State
and public concerns while still generating a significant

in rebuttal testimony filed with the Vermont Public Service
Board today. The new plan calls for 16 2.5MW turbines,
completely eliminating the array on Hardscrabble Mountain,
reducing the northern array from 20 to 16 turbines, and
eliminating the need to access the project through a
road near the King George School. -- read full press
