STATEWIDE -- State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo launches an investigation into the alleged actions of two wind power companies developing wind farms in New York State.
Subpoenas were served on First Wind -- formerly known as UPC Wind -- and Noble Environmental Power, LLC.
Cuomo's office is looking into whether or not companies developing wind farms improperly sought or obtained land-use agreements, if improper benefits were given to public officials to influence their actions, and whether they entered into anti-competitive agreements or practices.
First Wind has several wind farms in development, including one in Steuben County. Noble Environmental Power has farms in development in Clinton and Franklin counties.
