New Hampshire's first commercial wind farm has been dedicated in Lempster.

Developers say the 12 turbines built by Iberdrola Renewables will produce enough energy to power 10,000 typical New Hampshire homes. Public Service of New Hampshire is buying the power and selling part of it to the New Hampshire Electric Cooperative.

The wind energy is the equivalent of taking about 5,700 cars off the road.
