Our Team
Liberty Renewables is led by Natural Forces and ProWind Renewables, in partnership with local New York companies, to develop community-scale wind energy projects.
Liberty Renewables Inc. is a renewable energy company based in Albany, NY. Liberty was formed through a partnership of two internationally successful wind energy companies (Natural Forces and ProWind Renewables) who have combined operating assets of over 55 wind projects in Canada and Europe representing over $205 million in equity financing.
Liberty’s development team draws expertise from its parent companies, who have over 20 years’ experience in the wind energy sector. We strive to be community focused, fostering transparent and equitable relationships with the local organizations and families that host our projects.
Our business objective is to support rural economic development and environmental stewardship through clean energy projects.
