The New York State Public Service Commission has given its approval for Stony Creek Energy LLC’s Stony Creek Wind Farm in the Town of Orangeville, Wyoming County.
The PSC granted a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity, subject to conditions, on December 15.
Stony Creek LLC must provide third party certification that the General Electric model wind turbines to be used conform to appropriate codes and industry standards and that expected performance standards should be achieved before installation of the turbines can begin.
The project will consist of up to 59 wind turbine generators, access roads, underground electrical lines, a two-acre interconnection substation, a construction staging area and a centrally located operation and maintenance facility. The wind turbines will range up to 430 feet in total height.
Stony Creek is authorized by the PSC to begin substation site development and after providing more plan details, start construction of the substation and interconnection to a 230 kilo-volt transmission line owned by New York State Electric and Gas.
