Town of Italy

WIND TURBINE FIRM FILES COMPLAINT:


A Buffalo-area wind turbine company has filed a complaint, saying the town’s six-month extension on its wind turbine moratorium unlawfully prevents the firm from building the electricity substation it would need for its Steuben County generators.

The substation that Ecogen LLC plans to build on Emerson Road is needed to connect electricity produced by the 30 wind turbine generators proposed for Prattsburg and 23 turbines proposed in Italy.

Tom Hagner, owner/manager of Ecogen, said the substation doesn’t qualify to be included in the moratorium because it doesn’t pose an imminent threat.

“I don’t know what hazard results from a substation,” Hagner said.
