Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) recently approved an engineering procurement and construction contract (EPC) between the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) (Rensselaer, New York), NextEra Energy Transmission New York (NEETNY), Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation--doing business as National Grid plc (NYSE:NGG) (London, England)--and Alle-Catt Wind LLC. The contract involves the construction of the Alle-Catt Wind Farm in western New York. Alle-Catt Wind LLC is a subsidiary of Invenergy LLC (Chicago, Illinois).
The contract outlines the construction time frame for NEETNY, as the transmission system operator, to make the changes to its system to incorporate wind farm integration. The EPC contract was signed on November 15, 2023. Construction of the NEETNY system is scheduled to commence in May and be completed by mid-2025.
The Alle-Catt Wind Farm will be constructed in Cattaraugus, Allegany and Wyoming counties. The facility is a 340.2-megawatt (MW) wind farm, featuring 83 500-foot-tall wind turbines. The facility was initially approved in 2020 by the New York State Board on Electric Generation Siting and Environment for 108 smaller turbines. In 2023, Alle-Catt Wind LLC amended its certificate to change the number of turbines and reduce the distance of transmission lines and roadways needed by the facility. The facility should be online in late 2025.
