Second Long Island wind energy project proposed
A Hauppauge company is proposing its second wind energy project south of Long Island, this one to serve Nassau and Suffolk electricity customers instead of those in the city.
Winergy Power president Dennis Quaranta said Tuesday his company applied for approval of the $600 million to $700 million plan Jan. 16 from the nonprofit New York Independent System Operator, which coordinates electric power generation and transmission.
The plan is for 86 wind turbines with a peak output of 300 megawatts. "As well as New York City, Long Island needs clean reliable energy," he said. "It's just a matter of going out and getting it."
The project also needs federal and state government approval and an arrangement made with the Long Island Power Authority to handle the electricty it produces, Quarantro said.
