North Seneca Solar Project, LLC (Applicant) is proposing to construct the North Seneca Solar Project (Project), a proposed up to 90 megawatt (MW) solar powered major electric generating facility proposed to be located in the Towns of Waterloo and Junius, Seneca County, New York. Pursuant to 16 NYCRR Part 1100 Section 1100-1.6, this notice announces that on or before November 8, 2024, Applicant will file a Major Amendment with the Office of Renewable Energy Siting and Electric Transmission (ORES).
On March 4, 2024, Applicant submitted an Application to ORES under former N.Y. Executive Law 94-c (currently Public Service Law Article VIII). On October 4, 2024, Applicant submitted a Request for Permission to Submit an Amendment to the Application. On October 21, 2024, ORES granted Applicant’s request to submit an Amendment and proceed with the Amendment as a Major Amendment. The Amendment includes relocating the point of interconnection (POI) substation and collection substation to the north side of the existing the Farmington – Hamilton 115 kilovolt transmission line, which is the Project’s POI. The POI and collection substation relocation moves the facilities approximately 1,000 feet north-northwest of the previous POI substation and collection substation locations and is required for compliance with the transmission owner’s interconnection requirements (see Figure below).
