Canton Mountain Wind

Reed & Reed was selected to build the Canton Mountain Wind Project in Canton, Maine. This project is a “Sister” project to the nearby Saddleback Wind Project recently completed by Reed & Reed. Both of these projects were developed by Patriot Renewables.

Canton Mountain Wind consists of eight GE 2.85 MW wind turbines with 103 meter diameter rotors mounted on 85 meter towers. The turbines were erected on rock anchor foundations.  The generated power travels through an underground ridgeline collector system, then overhead to the expanded substation built for the Saddleback Project.

Reed & Reed self-performed the substation expansion, overhead and underground electrical collection system, WTG foundations, and turbine erection, construction of the foundations, turbine erection, and the underground electrical collector system.

Reed & Reed’s scope included the construction of:

• Sitework and access roads/crane paths
• Wind Turbine Foundations
• 5 kV Collection System
• Collector Substation
• Transmission Line
• Wind Turbine Erection
