Western New Yorkers for Clean Energy
THE TEAM
The Alle-Catt Wind Farm is being developed by Invenergy’s growing thirty-person New York development team located across New York State in Ithaca, Orchard Park, and New York City. The team is supported by engineers, construction managers, and other professionals at Invenergy’s headquarters in Chicago, Illinois. The Alle-Catt Wind Farm is lead by the following dedicated team members: Rachel Silva (Co-Developer), Sean Perry (Co-Developer) and Katy Warner (Administrative Assistant).
THE PROJECT
The Alle-Catt Wind Farm will boost the local economies of Allegany, Cattaraugus and Wyoming Counties and create jobs, all while generating clean energy to meet New York's growing electricity needs. We are proud to contribute to the economic growth of our host communities in western New York while solidifying our state and national energy independence.
Invenergy is developing Alle-Catt on approximately 30,000 acres of private land it is leasing in the towns of Arcade, Centerville, Farmersville, Freedom, Rushford and Machias. The project enjoys the support of over 300 local tax-paying residents, crosses three county lines and will generate a tremendous amount of energy and income for the local communities.
