Project overview
Jericho Rise Wind Farm is situated between the towns of Chateaugay and Belmont, near the edges of the Chateauguay River. Located entirely within Franklin County about 10 miles south of the Canada border, the wind farm complements the surrounding farmland and woodlands.
Jericho Rise Wind Farm yields significantly in the form of payments to landowners, local spending, and annual community investment. Jericho Rise Wind Project is also compatible with other land uses and provides a stable form of income to local landowners.
