ALBANY – A ruling by the Public Service Commission means the clock is now clicking on NYRI. The PSC issued a letter of compliance dated Thursday deeming the Article VII application for the controversial 190-mile electricity transmission line as complete.
“We are very pleased by the PSC’s decision and were optimistic all along that we would be judged fairly by the merits of our project,” said Chris Thompson, president of New York Regional Interconnect in a statement to the press. “This is a significant milestone and turning point for NYRI.”
It has taken NYRI nearly three years to reach the point of having a completed application.
The decision is retroactive to the date of Aug. 8, when NYRI filed the response to the remaining deficiencies in its application. The notice of compliance officially begins the application’s year -long review process based on that date. Proceedings have been turned over to Administrative Law Judges Michelle L. Phillips and Jeffrey E. Stockholm.
