NY Wind Projects Poised to Start Construction

LCG, August 22, 2007--The New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) last week granted Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) for the Cohocton and Dutch Hill wind projects in Steuben County, New York.

The combined electric generating capacity of the two wind farms is 127.5 MW. The Cohocton project will include a maximum of 35 Clipper wind turbines, each with a generating capacity of 2.5 MW. Each wind turbine will include a 315-foot diameter, three-blade rotor mounted on a 262-foot tall tubular steel tower. The Dutch Hill project will include up to 16 Clipper wind turbines of the same size.

The projects are being developed by Canandaigua Power Partners and Canandaigua Power Partners II, which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of UPC Wind Partners, LLC. According to the developer, construction on the Cohocton project is to commence this week.
