Power Play: Approval of a new wind farm in Lempster marks another step toward renewable energy

After three years of planning and permitting, Lempster wind farm developer Iberdrola, the world's largest wind power development company, received the last of the required state approvals for New Hampshire's first wind farm this month. When the project is complete, a dozen wind turbines 400 feet tall will stand along the Lempster Mountain ridgeline and generate enough electricity in a year to power roughly 10,500 homes.
