Danskammer Energy

A proposed gas-fired power plant in the Hudson Valley has withdrawn its application for a state air permit, and environmental advocates are cheering the move that appears to end a six-year saga.

In late October, the New York state Department of Environmental Conservation denied an air permit for the Danskammer Energy Center in Orange County. The permit is required for the repowering of the plant to move forward. Danskammer officials appealed the decision to DEC and, about one month later, filed an appeal in court. DEC held a public hearing earlier this month.

The environmental group Scenic Hudson is applauding the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation for denying a permit for the Danskammer Energy Center in Orange County.
