COHOCTON WIND PROJECT, an 88 MW Wind power plant in Steuben County, New York. Operated by CANANDAIGUA POWER PARTNERS LLC, commissioned 2009.
How COHOCTON WIND PROJECT compares
With 88 MW of capacity, COHOCTON WIND PROJECT ranks 64th among the 320 operating power plants Bywatts maps in New York and 9th of the 20 operating Wind plants in the state. It accounts for about 5.4% of New York's operating Wind capacity and 0.2% of all operating capacity in the state. Nationally it is the 292nd-largest of the 708 operating Wind plants in the database. Commissioned in 2009, it is newer than 90% of the 312 operating New York plants with a recorded commissioning year. It shares Steuben County with 2 other operating plants, HOWARD WIND FARM and DUTCH HILL WIND PROJECT.
EIA-860 lists 1 generator at the site with 88 MW of nameplate capacity, all onshore wind turbine technology. Net generation was 204 GWh in 2024 (a 26% capacity factor), down 5% from 2022.
Grid neighborhood
The closest transmission line found within 10 miles is a 230 kV line owned by NEW YORK STATE ELEC & GAS CORP, about 0.5 miles away. Another 2 operating power plants totaling 97 MW sit within 25 miles; the largest is HOWARD WIND FARM (60 MW, Wind).

Weather peril exposure
COHOCTON WIND PROJECT is an 88 MW wind power plant in Steuben County, NY, operated by CANANDAIGUA POWER PARTNERS LLC, commissioned in 2009. Steuben County carries low modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 1.1 of 5 at the 3rd national percentile. Riverine flooding is the leading peril, rated Relatively Moderate by FEMA at the 82nd percentile.
The Bywatts loss layer is calibrated to solar PV hardware, so it is not applied to a wind plant. The ratings below are the FEMA National Risk Index county hazard ratings for this location.
Steuben County hazard ratings
| Peril | FEMA rating | National percentile | Peril score | Events per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Riverine flooding | Relatively Moderate | 82nd | 4.3 of 5 | 2.1 |
| Hurricane | Relatively Low | 58th | 3.3 of 5 | 0.03 |
| Ice storm | Relatively Low | 30th | 2.2 of 5 | 0.25 |
| Strong wind | Relatively Moderate | 22nd | 1.9 of 5 | 1.6 |
| Winter weather | Relatively Low | 19th | 1.8 of 5 | 14.1 |
| Tornado | Relatively Low | 18th | 1.7 of 5 | 0.25 |
| Earthquake | Very Low | 18th | 1.7 of 5 | <0.01 |
| Hail | Relatively Low | 12th | 1.5 of 5 | 1.5 |
| Wildfire | Very Low | 10th | 1.4 of 5 | <0.01 |
| Lightning | Relatively Moderate | 5th | 1.2 of 5 | 30.1 |
