Owner data does not fully agree across sources.
EIA typically reports the operating utility, while GEM resolves to the financial owner or parent corporation. Both can be correct.

The Chateaugay wind power plant is located in Franklin County, New York. The plant has a total capacity of 106.5 MW and began operating in 2009. It is owned by AES and operated by Valcour Operating Services, LLC. The facility consists of a single generator utilizing onshore wind turbine technology. The wind turbines have a hub height of 80 meters and a rotor diameter of 77 meters, and were manufactured by GE Wind, model GE1.5-77.
In the most recent year of data, Chateaugay generated 170,482 MWh of electricity, achieving a capacity factor of 18.3%. The plant operates within the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) balancing authority and the Northeast Power Coordinating Council (NPCC) NERC region. Chateaugay is ranked as the 16th largest wind farm out of 22 in New York state, and 654th out of 734 nationally.

No wholesale contracts disclosed in FERC EQR for this plant.
FERC EQR captures bilateral wholesale energy + capacity contracts ≥$1M/yr filed quarterly by jurisdictional sellers — covers renewable PPAs, thermal energy sales agreements, capacity contracts, and tolling agreements alike. Many plants don't appear: regulated-utility output flows to ratepayers via cost-of-service rather than bilateral contracts; small projects fall below the filing threshold; tax-equity-financed renewables route offtake to investors not utilities; merchant plants sell into ISO clearing markets without bilateral contracts. News-extracted buyer facts (below) may surface contracts disclosed only through announcements.

AES and partners announced plans to build a solar-powered data center at the former Chateaugay biomass plant site — a separate facility from the wind farm but involving the same AES operator in the same municipality.
