IPPNY strongly supports S.7391 (Maziarz). This bill would limit the use of eminent domain only to activities that achieve a public use, benefit or purpose that maximizes benefits to New York State.

On behalf of the Independent Power Producers of New York, Inc., a trade association representing companies involved in the development of electric generating facilities, the generation, sale and marketing of electric power, and the transmission of natural gas in the State of New York, we are here to represent the interest of our Members in voicing our opposition to this proposed project. IPPNY Member companies produce more than 75 percent of the state's electric power, and are large employers with more than 10,000 individuals and taxpayers working to support and bolster the New York State economy.

The primary goal of the Independent Power Producers of New York, Inc. (IPPNY) is to promote fair, fully competitive electric markets in New York State.
