Maine Picks Clearway Energy for 800 MW Wind Farm That Could Lift State Wind Capacity 66%

Maine regulators have selected Clearway Energy to build an 800-megawatt wind farm in the northern part of the state. The project would add roughly two-thirds to Maine’s current onshore wind capacity, according to the developer announcement.

The plan puts a major new renewable energy source in a region already known for its strong wind resources. If completed, the 800 MW facility would be one of the largest onshore wind installations in the northeastern United States.

Maine’s existing onshore wind fleet is relatively small compared with its clean energy ambitions, so the Clearway project represents a significant step toward expanding local generation. Regulators chose the developer after a selection process, though a final construction timeline and exact location details have not been disclosed in the available information.
