Albany, N.Y., 11/14/13 - The Independent Power Producers of New York, Inc. (IPPNY) has told the state's Public Service Commission (PSC) that New York should not be in the business of using New York ratepayer funds to subsidize Canadian government-owned power resources - an act that would put at risk the environmental and economic benefits provided by existing and new renewable resources here in New York. In its comments submitted to the PSC this week on the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) 2013 Review documents, IPPNY opposed H.Q. Energy Services U.S. Inc.'s proposal for New York State incentives to subsidize the Canadian Government's hydroelectric plants for the likely importation of this power into New York over the yet-to-be-built Champlain Hudson Power Express (CHPE) merchant transmission line to link Quebec, Canada with New York City.
