MADISON COUNTY, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — Seven wind turbines came down, as the Madison Wind Farm said goodbye after years of support.
The company had a sequential implosion of the turbines at noon on Sept. 17.
Prior to the implosion, the Town of Madison put out a notice to let people know that they shouldn’t be alarmed, as there was no threat to public safety.
“At the time of Madison’s construction in 2000, the wind farm was anticipated to have an operational lifespan of 20 to 25 years,” the company’s website stated. “As of 2025, the project has come to the end of that lifespan and is no longer considered economically viable, primarily due to the current turbines being out of production, making repairs and obtaining replacement parts increasingly difficult and costly.”

Madison Wind Farm was the first in New York State when it was built in 2000.
“While Madison Wind Farm’s time has come to an end, we are eager to continue serving the Madison area with clean American power through the future development of Rolling Upland Wind Farm,” Madison Wind Farm stated.
