KINGSTON – The State Public
Service Commission will hold a public comment session on Central Hudson’s
application and petition to rebuild and upgrade some 23.6 miles of existing
69 kilovolt transmission lines in Ulster and Greene counties.
The lines are in the City of Kingston, towns of Ulster and Saugerties and Town and Village of Catskill.
The utility’s application states that the rebuild will generally occur within an existing 23.6-mile-long right-of-way with some 1.2 miles of line relocated to avoid the state designated Great Vly Wildlife Management Area.
Central Hudson will upgrade the lines to 115 kV requirements by removing and replacing most of the structures, insulators, electrical conductors, and associated components of the two lines. The new lines will use 253 total structures, three fewer than the existing lines occupy.
The PSC hearing will be held on Tuesday, August 7 in the Frank D. Greco Building, 207 Market Street in Saugerties beginning at 7 p.m.
