Dear Secretary Deixler: By transmittal letter dated August 9, 2000, PPL Kings Park, LLC (PPL) filed its Preliminary Scoping Statement (PSS), pursuant to Article X of the Public Service Law, for the captioned project with the Chairman of the New York State Board on Electric Generation Siting and the Environment. The comment period was voluntarily extended to September 15, 2000 by PPL by letter dated August 30, 2000. This letter is provided to advise the Chairman and interested persons that PPL will be revising the PSS because the Project's capacity will be reduced from 600 MW to approximately 300 MW. Ongoing studies indicate that the transmission capacity at the Pilgrim Substation that is available to satisfy Long Island's peak demand (installed capacity requirements) is approximately 300 megawatts.

If you are reading this on November 18 or 19, 2009, at Advanced Energy 2009, you don’t need anyone else to tell you why energy is the crucial challenge facing humanity today. You get it and you are here for answers, ideas and new questions. You’ve come to the right place. Last year’s conference was the biggest such event ever held in New York State to address this critical issue, and Advanced Energy 2009 has leaped far ahead of it. We have had to enlarge the event to two full days this year because there simply weren’t enough hours in one day to fit all 189 energy subject matter experts. We have organized the speakers into thirty-five ses- sions in five different tracks so you may explore a rich diversity of subjects and technologies. We are especially pleased to partner with the U.S. Department of Energy for a half-day portion of the schedule in which DOE representatives will showcase advanced national programs from the Office of Science, the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, and the Office of Electricity.

FOGLIA Special Deputy Inspector General JESSICA SILVER Administrative and Special Investigative Counsel BERNARD COSENZA Deputy Inspector General for Investigations BENJAMIN DEFIBAUGH Senior Investigator DANIEL SAMUEL Investigative Auditor FELISA HOCHHEISER Director of Investigative Reporting (New York City) Special Counsel STEPHEN DEL GIACCO Director of Investigative Reporting (Albany) I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The New York State Inspector General received allegations of flawed procurement practices, Board member improprieties, and questionable contributions at the New York Power Authority (NYPA). In response, the Inspector General conducted a broad investigation into these allegations and found weaknesses in numerous policies and procedures at NYPA that resulted in inadequate procurement practices, ethical lapses, and the lack of a formal policy with regard to business expenses that are contributory in nature. One allegation the Inspector General investigated asserted inadequate procurement practices in the retention of outside legal services. While NYPA employs a general counsel and assistant counsels, it outsources certain legal matters deemed beyond the purview or expertise of the Legal Department. In order to solicit firms to handle such legal matters, NYPA, in 2009 and 2010, drafted three

    CONFERENCE PROGRAM JACOB K. JAVITS CONVENTION CENTER NEW YORK, OCTOBER 30-31, 2012 WELCOME TO ADVANCED ENERGY 2012 We are pleased to welcome you to both the 2012 edition of our annual Advanced Energy Conference and the inauguration of The New York State Partnership of Energy Conferences. Indeed, Advanced Energy 2012 is a watershed event that brings together 19 individual energy conferences from throughout New York State to create what we believe to be the most complete and far-reaching event of its kind in the nation. It also underscores the importance of advanced energy research, development and implemen- tation to New York State, its economy, and its leadership. Its significance was demonstrated earlier this year when Governor Andrew M. Cuomo introduced the New York Energy Highway as a public-private initiative aimed at developing innovative concepts for upgrading and modernizing the State’s energy system. In his own right, New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg is a vocal advocate for environmental and clean energy issues, and has been active in establishing programs focused on sustainable development in New York City and other major cities throughout the United States. We are proud that he has agreed to be a keynote speaker and participate in welcoming you to this landmark conference. Advanced Energy 2012 represents a dramatic growth in scope since 2010, when it was last hosted in New York City. The number of conference tracks has doubled to 14, with over 90 separate sessions, and 351 subject matter experts presenting to more than 2,000 attendees. This growth reflects the natural evolution of energy-related technologies and disciplines fostered by the increasingly critical challenges to be faced by an energy-dependent world.

  • LIPA, Again at a Crossroads, Considers Four Options for Its Future
    LIPA, again at a crossroads, considers four options for its future By Mark Harrington [email protected] @MHarringtonNews Updated November 28, 2020 6:23 PM With five years to go before its state-brokered contract with PSEG expires, the Long Island Power Authority again has a monumental task ahead: It must decide how best — or whether — to go forward with an electric utility plagued by new claims of mismanagement. After a string of devastating revelations about PSEG Long Island’s failures in its handling of Tropical Storm Isaias, LIPA officials and its board disclosed they will begin to look at options for how best to run the system, which stretches from the Rockaways to Montauk with 1.1 million customers. The move follows disclosures in a LIPA report this month that PSEG knew in advance of problems with a computer system that crashed as the worst of Tropical Storm Isaias hit, leaving 535,000 customers without power or answers about when it would be restored, some for more than a week. After a string of devastating revelations about PSEG Long Island’s failures in its handling of Tropical Storm Isaias, LIPA says it will reexamine how best to run the system, which has 1.1 million customers. Here's Newsday's Mark Harrington with a closer look at the story. Credit: Newsday / Mark Harrington, J. Conrad Williams Jr,; File footage It’s not the first time LIPA has been at this crossroads. The utility and the state have commissioned studies as recently as 2013 to determine the next best path for an electric system plagued by soaring debt, eye-popping bills, antiquated infrastructure and periodic charges of mismanagement by big-name contractors.
