7 Madison County Turbines Imploded After 25 Years in Service
MADISON, N.Y. — Seven wind turbines at the Madison Wind Farm were safely imploded on Wednesday.
The turbines, which had been in service for 25 years, were brought down by contractors.
EDP Global, the company that owns the turbines, said the project has reached the end of its 20-25 year lifespan and is no longer economically viable.
EDP Global said the current turbines are out of production, making repairs and obtaining replacement parts increasingly difficult and costly.
The wind farm, built in 2000, was the first of its kind in the State.
Seven wind turbines at the Madison Wind Farm were safely imploded on Wednesday.
A planned demolition of wind turbines is set to occur in the Town of Madison.
