North Country New Yorkers for Clean Energy

THE TEAM

The Bull Run Wind Farm is being developed by Invenergy's six-person New York development team located in central New York, with support from engineers, construction managers and other professionals at Invenergy's headquarters in Chicago, Illinois. Jon LaBarre from nearby Ellenburg is the dedicated Project Developer for our Bull-Run Wind Farm and is supported by Katy Warner, the team's Administrative Assistant, Renewable Development.

THE PROJECT

The Bull Run Wind Farm is an opportunity to boost the local economy of Clinton County and create jobs, all while generating clean, American-made energy to meet New York's growing electricity needs.

Invenergy is developing the project on approximately 30,000 acres of private land it is leasing in the towns of Altona, Clinton, Ellenburg and Mooers. Bull Run wind will benefit its host communities economically, the planet environmentally, and the country by driving energy independence and security.
