A Thoughtful
Approach
To Energy
Development
Bringing American-made, cost-competitive energy
to Schuyler County.

The Bedrock Renewables Approach to Siting
Project sites are carefully chosen and located near existing electricity infrastructure where they can best access the grid.
We take into consideration the area’s wind resources and potential environmental impacts, knowing we must find landowners who want to participate in the project.
RESOURCE
Identify abundant
wind resources
EAGER
PROPERTY
OWNERS
Work with private landowners
to lease or buy land
TRANSMISSION
Connect efficiently
to the grid
COMPLEMENTARY
LAND USE
Consistent with
many current land-use operations, such as agriculture, logging and hunting, with limited impacts
RESOURCE
ASSESSMENT
Scientifically led studies, ranging from environmental to social impacts, through a robust local, state and federal review process
COMMUNITY
ENGAGEMENT
Meetings, listening sessions and ample resources to learn more and give feedback
How Wind
Turbines
Work
How Wind
Turbines
Work
Wind turbine generators work by converting the kinetic energy from wind into electricity. Wind spins the blades of the turbine, which are connected to a rotor and a main shaft. This shaft turns a generator that produces electricity through electromagnetic induction.
Control systems adjust the blades' angle and the turbine's direction to optimize performance and protect against high winds. The generated electricity is transmitted down the tower and sent to the electrical grid for distribution, providing a clean and renewable source of electricity.
Cost-Competitive and Convenient
Wind energy, on an unsubsidized basis, is cost-competitive with other forms of new build generation across different technologies, types and fuels and can help lower overall energy costs for Schuyler County residents.
Our Project
Azalea Wind Project
Schuyler County has abundant wind resources, providing the potential for cost-competitive American-made wind energy projects to help power our communities, create good jobs and build a better energy future right here at home.
New York’s commitment to wind energy is driven by the 2019 Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, which mandates 70% of the state’s electricity come from renewable sources by 2030.
Stengthen Our
Energy
Harnessing domestic wind resources diversifies our electricity generation mix and provides flexibility for how we utilize our abundant natural resources.
Carefully Sited
Development
Bedrock Renewables’ wind projects are carefully sited to minimize impacts to land, wildlife and natural resources.
Significant Local
Benefits
A wind project in Schuyler County will provide long-term rent payments, taxes, community payments, direct local spending, jobs and clean, cost-competitive power.
Community
Benefits
An Economic Drive for Schuyler County
Wind energy can be a powerful economic driver for its host communities, creating jobs in construction, maintenance and operations while generating additional revenue through land leases and taxes. By investing in wind energy, the county can attract new industry and infrastructure development, stimulating the local economy.
Millions in steady, long-term tax revenue for local road repair, schools and public safety
Millions in local economic activity created and long-term payments to the host community and project participants
Hundreds of construction
jobs created
Diversification of local revenue sources and bolsters the economy
Decommissioning and Restoring the Site
After operation, project sites are restored and available for future use as the landowner sees fit.
A dedicated decommissioning plan is created during development to ensure restoration of the land, and responsible recycling and disposal of materials.
Funds will be posted prior to the start of construction to cover any eventual decommissioning costs.
Connect
With Us
As we develop our plans, we look forward to engaging broadly with the community to solicit feedback, answer questions and work together to make these projects ideal for the area and deliver resilient energy to Schuyler County.
