The attached document shows over 4000mw of wind proposed in upstate New York behind highly constrained interfaces. According to the GE-NYSERDA report, the maximum wind capacity that could be placed in upstate NY is 2800 mw before wind would negatively impact nuclear and hydro production and degrade reliability of the system. We believe you have a good case to show how an unconstrained RPS is resulting in too many renewables which produce off-peak, off-season, and far from load. This is leading to consequences that could have, and should have, been addressed before reaching this point.
One point to bear in mind: the NYSERDA report stated that onshore wind would have an effective capacity of around 9%, i.e. of the 4000mw of installed capacity, you can reasonably rely on 9% to meet peak demand or 360mw.
