The New York State Office of Renewable Energy Siting and Electric Transmission (ORES) has issued final siting permits for the Rich Road Solar Energy Center and Prattsburgh Wind projects, located in St. Lawrence County and Steuben County, respectively.
The solar project is slated to generate 240 MW, which will be supplemented with an additional 20 MW battery energy storage system located in the Town of Canton.
The Prattsburgh wind farm is a 147 MW wind project spanning the Towns of Prattsburgh, Avoca, Cohocton, Howard and Wheeler.
These mark the second and third major renewable energy facility permits issued by ORES this month.
“Today’s announcement demonstrates the State’s continued commitment to a clean energy transition and the responsible siting and development of renewable energy resources,” says Jessica Waldorf, ORES’ interim executive director.
“ORES’ issuance of the permits of the Rich Road Solar Energy Center and Prattsburgh Wind LLC projects will support the delivery of significant amounts of clean energy to the electric grid and local community benefits, while mitigating significant adverse environmental impacts.”
The application for the Rich Road solar farm was deemed complete in January and a draft permit was issued by ORES in March. A review process followed that included a public comment period and hearing. The facility will feature three ground-mounted solar arrays on single-axis tracker racking systems, a 34.5 kV to 345 kV collection substation and a point of interconnection switchyard.
The application for the Prattsburgh wind farm was deemed complete last October, with a draft permit issued by ORES in December. The project will encompass 36 wind turbines and related infrastructure across 53 acres of primarily rural land.

I’m not a financial pro, but here’s some advice:
Don’t live on a budget. Make a lot of money and live far beneath your means. What value does luxury actually bring to your life, especially if it makes you nervous about running out of cash?
As I told my kids when they were growing up, “Unless you’re completely shallow, showing off your money is an idiotic thing to do. You make false friends and have people glomming onto you to sell you stuff you really don’t need.”
Warren Buffett still lives in a modest house in Nebraska, a state in which he could buy an entire country. Maybe there is something about him and his values that could benefit you.
I see.
There’s not enough land in Spain to support rooftop and ground-mounted solar at a fraction of the cost.
LOL.
It’s possible that right now, there are other civilizations observing the human race, studying us from afar, and noticing our decline into savagery and eventual extinction by turning billionaires into trillionaires.
People say that the principal weakness of human beings is that we can’t plan for the future as a species. Dogs are arguably even worse, though they aren’t consumed with greed. They don’t plot the starvation of millions of other dogs so they themselves can have enough food to last a billion years.
As an elderly man, I’ll be leaving this planet soon, but I won’t cease pondering this until my heart stops beating.
