On Earth Day, 4/22, the League and members of the Hudson Valley Smart Energy Coalition (HVSEC) filed public comments with the NYS Public Service Commission (PSC) on proposals for A/C transmission lines. The League has been deeply involved in the permitting review of New York’s largest electric transmission siting proposal in more than a decade.
Along with the HVSEC, the League is concerned about these proposals’ aesthetic and economic impacts on historic communities, landscapes and working farmland. The groups further question the need for additional bulk transmission capacity to provide power generated upstate to the New York Metro region. The League has already begun preparing for a PSC technical review conference in June.
