Clinton Wind is an operational 100.5 MW onshore wind facility in the Town of Clinton, Clinton County, New York, comprising 67 GE 1.5sle turbines with an 80-meter hub height and 77-meter rotor diameter. The facility has operated since April 2008 and is interconnected with New York Power Authority transmission facilities under NYISO operational control, with output sold into NYISO markets. AES Clean Energy, the current owner, is pursuing a full repowering of the existing facility to approximately 110.5 MW using up to 29 new turbines while reusing the existing collection substation, point-of-interconnection switchyard, and operations and maintenance building.

## Data quality

- The exact facility is identified by EIA plant ID 56618, located in the Town of Clinton, Clinton County, New York, with 100.5 MW nameplate capacity and 67 turbines; these attributes are consistently corroborated across governmental, regulatory, and industry sources. Financing: Noble's SEC filing identifies turbine-secured debt, a June 22, 2007 financing agreement with Dexia Credit Local and HSH Nordbank, and a June 22, 2007 security agreement covering Noble Clinton. The NYPSC authorized $700 million in aggregate debt for all Noble Wind Companies with Clinton included, but no Clinton-specific debt principal is disclosed. The $229.14 million project-cost figure from a secondary source is not identified as financing size and should not be treated as debt or transaction consideration. The repowering project is a separate future configuration: approximately 110.5 MW capacity with up to 29 new turbines, replacing the existing 67 turbines while reusing the existing collection substation, point-of-interconnection switchyard, and operations and maintenance building. All 67 existing turbines are to be decommissioned as part of the full repowering scope; this is a whole-plant replacement rather than a unit-level retirement. The April 2008 commissioning date is supported by the project profile and regulatory materials; the exact month and day are not available in the candidate research, so April 2008 is the best-supported precision. Annual generation of 123.1 GWh (123,100 MWh) is reported in the Clinton project fact sheet; this is a reported statistic and should be used with the understanding that actual generation may vary year to year. The ORES repowering permit directory lists the permit status but does not provide an explicit issuance date; the combined notice and public review activities are dated November 10, 2025.
