What:  The New York State Office of Renewable Energy Siting (ORES) will hold the first two in a series of seven public hearings to accept public comments on the proposed uniform standards and conditions. ORES, which was established through the Accelerated Renewable Energy Growth and Community Benefit Act, is tasked with consolidating the environmental review of major renewable energy facilities and provide a single forum to ensure that siting decisions are predictable, responsible and delivered in a timely manner along with opportunities for input from local communities.
