A U.S. Department of the Interior spokesperson said the agency canceled a broad environmental review grouping together seven individual projects that make up the 6.2-GW Esmeralda 7 project, but could review each one individually.
With 26.4 GW in large load study requests since 2020, the Southwest Power Pool is developing options for data centers, manufacturing plants and other loads to connect to the grid.
“The NYISO’s findings should be alarming to residents and serve as another wake up call for the state,” said Gavin Donohue, president of the Independent Power Producers of New York.
County officials say the loss of $54 million in clean energy grants jeopardizes staffing, planning and partnerships built around the program, forcing major adjustments to local operations and budgets.
