  • 2016 Madison County Renewable Energy Trail Map
    2016 Madison County Renewable Energy Trail Map Welcome to the updated Madison County Renewable Energy Trail map. This map highlights the current innovative sustainability projects located in Madison County and is meant to be used as a guide to learn more about each of these initiatives. Sustainability is a concept that values all the assets of a community; environmentally, socially, and economically. This helps us recognize that communities gain more when those assets are leveraged together. Natural resources are one of Madison County’s strongest assets. Many of these projects showcase ways these natural resources are converted to natural assets: wind, solar, biomass, hydro and landfill gas are being used to create clean energy alternatives that promote the local economy. Madison County is home to several LEED certified buildings, the highest achievable standard for environmentally friendly design, as well as several cutting edge technologies including the only municipality with a flexible photovoltaic film cap over its landfill. The county also contains the FREE Center, an educational building with many different renewable technologies on display and tours for the public. These places and projects serve as important educational resources, many of which are open to the public and/or available for tours. Use this guide to learn more about how to visit these destinations first hand! Advancing these technologies and initiatives is a priority in Madison County. Madison County is fortunate to have so many forward thinking institutions, businesses, and individuals that are dedicated to looking beyond the status quo. These types of projects are creating a momentum that establishes Madison County as a leader in sustainable energy projects and brings new vitality to our communities.

They were intended to cover the ECE States that are not members of the Organisation for Economic Co- operation and Development. At the fifth Environment for Europe Ministerial Conference (Kiev, 2003), the Ministers affirmed their support for the EPR Programme, and decided that the Programme should continue with a second cycle of reviews.

  • 2. Wind Energy in New York State
    Wind Energy Toolkit – Overview 2. Wind Energy in New York State 2.1. Market Drivers and Barriers Drivers for Wind Development in New York State Windy rural areas in the Northeast, such as those in Upstate and Western New York, have proved to be attractive to wind energy developers. Market drivers for wind development generally include an area’s proximity to major load centers, available electrical transmission capacity, and a good wind resource; regionally, drivers include the high costs of electrical energy in the Northeast, concerns over regional air quality, federal tax incentives, and legislative mandates in New York and neighboring states. Some specific factors that are driving the market for wind energy in New York include the following: • A good resource: New York State is ranked 15th in annual wind energy generating potential (7080 MW or approximately 62 billion kWh)—more than California or any state east of the Mississippi and the largest potential of any state in the Northeast.1 The location and relative strength of wind resources in New York State are shown in Figure 1. • State mandates: Renewable energy purchase mandates or renewable portfolio standards (RPS) in New York and neighboring states are driving the demand for new renewable resources in the region, particularly wind energy. Originally, the New York State RPS called for an increase in renewable energy used in the state from its then-current level of about 19% to 25% by the year 2013. In 2009, the RPS goal was expanded to 30% renewable energy by 2015. Wind energy is expected to supply a significant portion of the RPS requirement, which effectively creates a stable, long-term market for the retail sale of wind energy in New York.

  • Radar Impact Assessment
    Radar Impact Assessment Enabling Wind Farms Market Context Protecting Radar Across the world countries continue to embrace wind farm technology for both onshore and off shore applications. However, the presence of wind turbines can significantly impact the effectiveness of radar systems used across the meteorology, aviation and marine industries. All too often radar objections block or delay not only new wind farm developments, but also the repowering of existing ones, where the new, often larger, turbines deployed are considered to pose a greater impact risk. Consistent methods for modelling the potential impacts of wind farm developments on radar are critical. Decisions regarding development feasibility, or the proposal of relevant mitigation solutions, can only be made based upon accurate data. Over the past 15 years QinetiQ has accumulated extensive knowledge and experience in delivering independent expert analysis and advice, to both wind farm developers and radar safeguarders, enabling wind farm developments whilst protecting the integrity of radar systems. Your support in getting the two turbines approved at a planning appeal was excellent given that getting the radar element right was a critical part of the development. Was very impressed by the way this was managed by the Radar Impact Assessment team. David Connell, Loganwood Wind Ltd QinetiQ’s RIA team utilises state- of-the-art modelling software and Impact Assessment & Mitigation analytical expertise to take into account all relevant factors and scenarios, accurately demonstrating to developers and radar operators whether or not issues are likely to exist with planned developments. If any conflicts are predicted, QinetiQ’s RIA team can provide independent advice to both parties on the potential solutions to mitigate the impacts.
