ALBANY — The New York State Board on Electric Generation Siting and the Environment (Siting Board) will meet on Friday, March 13, 2020, at 10:30 a.m. to consider Canisteo Wind Energy, LLC’s (Canisteo Wind) application for a Certificate of Environmental Compatibility and Public Need to  construct and operate a 290.7 megawatt (MW) wind electric generating facility in the Towns of Cameron, Canisteo, Jasper, Greenwood, Troupsburg and West Union in Steuben County.

Canisteo Wind has applied to build and operate a utility-scale wind power project that would include up to 117 wind turbines together with associated electrical collection system, access roads, collection substation components, meteorological towers, an operation and maintenance building, and other related facilities. CWE proposes to interconnect the project to the power grid by constructing electric transmission lines that would interconnect to New York State Electric and Gas Corporation’s Bennett substation in the Town of Hornellsville.

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-0205.
