Wind power in New Hampshire

Granite Reliable has 33 Vestas three-megawatt wind turbines on mountains in the Phillips Brook area.

[7] It had been expected to begin construction in 2014, but on February 7, 2013, New Hampshire's Site Evaluation Committee rejected the proposal by a 6 to 3 vote, the first time the SEC has turned down a wind project.

[8] The primary reason for the rejection was stated as the visual and aesthetic impact the proposed turbines would have had on the Audubon Society of New Hampshire's Willard Pond Sanctuary and the region in general.

The output of Groton Wind is going to NStar, in Boston, and 55% of Granite is going to Vermont.

[10] A 2009 regulation requires state approval of any energy facility of over 30 MW, and transmission lines over 100 kV.
