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.

A loss for climate alarmists? LOL. It’s a loss for all humanity.
But let’s be real. This is the only thing in which Trump succeeds: ruining good things for his own enrichment.
And that can mean a great numbers of things: the Kennedy Center, the city of Minneapolis, our scientific institutions, our greatest universities, our rejection of cruelty, our opposition to dictators, the future of Greenland, the lives of immigrants who have been living, working, and paying taxes here for decades, public education, protection from formerly wiped-out diseases, and America’s relationship with its allies — for starters.
It’s the only thing we do well as a nation now: destroying the best things that the U.S. has developed throughout the centuries, so that Trump can maintain power.
A Loss for Environmentalists, Yes — But More Importantly, for Humanity as a Whole

Don’t worry conservatives outnumber commie libtards 20 to 1 and we support ice.
You seem to be comparing ordinary crime with routine extra-judicial killings by the U.S. government, and you appear to reject the idea of prosecuting coldblooded murderers if they’re employed by the Trump administration.
Btw, it’s not just “liberals” who want rule of law returned to the United States; it’s everyone but the most morally depraved.
Sorry. Not impressed with your thinking here.
Murders Committed by ICE Agents Are Acceptable, According to What We See Here
Sure! Shouldn’t the U.S president, a convicted felon, be allowed to deport an innocent congressperson because she doesn’t support him? Isn’t this the American way?
If this were happening in Russia, Putin would have her tortured and executed. Why can’t Trump do the same?
