ALBANY — The New York State Board on Electric Generation Siting and the Environment (Siting Board) will meet on Thursday, February 13, 2020, at 9:30 a.m. to consider a petition for rehearing of the Board’s November 12, 2019 approval of Number Three Wind LLC’s (Number Three Wind) application for a Certificate of Environmental Compatibility and Public Need to build and operate a 105.8 megawatt (MW) wind facility in the Towns of Lowville and Harrisburg, Lewis County. In its certificate and order approving the large-scale wind facility, the Siting Board determined that the facility met the statutory requirements for certification under Article 10 of the Public Service Law (PSL). Number Three Wind seeks rehearing on a number of issues the Siting Board determined in the certificate.

Number Three Wind is a subsidiary of Invenergy, LLC (Invenergy) and applied to construct and operate the facility, which includes 31 wind turbines with a generating capacity of 105.8 megawatts, access roads, an electrical collection system, meteorological towers, an operation and maintenance building, and electrical interconnection facilities. The electrical interconnection facilities would include a project substation, a 115-kilovolt switchyard and a 115-kilovolt interconnection line approximately 4 miles in length that connects the substation to the switchyard and then to National Grid’s Lowville-Bremen transmission line.

The application for the proposed Project may be reviewed online at the Siting Board web page (http://www.dps.ny.gov/SitingBoard), by following the link to “Projects Under Review,” on the left side of the page. It also may be accessed by visiting the Department of Public Service website, www.dps.ny.gov, then clicking the “Search” link on the upper center area of the page, then using the “Search by Case Number” feature, to search for Case 16-F-0328.
