The Office of Renewable Energy Siting [ORES] issued the jurisdictional determination that all six Valcour projects, including Bliss Wind, must receive a siting permit pursuant to Executive Law 94-c. Click here for the full Declaratory Ruling.
Repowering Update: AES purchased the Valcour Portfolio of wind projects, including Bliss Wind, intending to repower them. Originally, AES planned to replace essential components to extend the life of the existing towers - extending the benefits for landowners, the towns, and school districts for up to 30 years following the repower. However, comprehensive engineering and environmental assessments revealed that the wind parks and their beneficiaries will benefit from a more substantial repowering effort than initially anticipated. AES will continue to post information about the repower on this project webpage.
