[SustainableTompkins] Who Owns Wind Power in America

[Marian Brown]

I think you refer to Iberdrola, George, which does own a number of the 
wind farms in New York through their recent acquisition of Scottish 
Power/PPM Energy, which built Maple Ridge in Northern NY.

Last year, Iberdrola acquired Community Energy, which owns wind farms in 
PA. http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/rea/news/story?id=44798
There was a public meeting last week about Iberdrola's bid to acquire 
Energy East, which owns NYSEG and Rochester Gas and Electric.

And if they don't own the complex they have likely sold the wind turbines to the Americans that do own the complex.  I understand the the Port of Oswego has been a primary port of entry.
