US developer NextEra Energy Resources has kicked off permitting for a 103.4MW wind project in western New York State.
The Florida-based company filed a public involvement program plan with the state Siting Board, the first step in an application for a ‘certificate of environmental compatibility and public need’.
The plan must be submitted for review at least 150 days before NextEra can file a preliminary scoping statement.
The Eight Point project is located in the towns of Canisteo, Greenwood, Hartsville, Hornellsville, Jasper, Troupsburg and West Union in Steuben County.
NextEra also has submitted an interconnection request to the New York Independent System Operator, which indicates a proposed in-service date of late 2017.
