A communications manager for Iberdrola Renewables says the company remains interested in pursuing a wind project in Hammond despite withdrawing the proposed Stone Church Wind Farm from a state list of potential energy projects.
"We don't want people to come away thinking we're not interested," Paul N. Copleman said Wednesday. "We feel this is still a good area for a project."
The New York Independent System Operator is responsible for overseeing operations for New York's nearly 11,000 miles of high-voltage transmission lines and the dispatch of more than 500 electric power generators. It maintains a running list of potential power projects, called an interconnection queue. Iberdrola added the Hammond project to the queue in 2008, and withdrew it earlier this month.
Uncertainty in Hammond, according to Mr. Copleman, including what he says are restrictive recommendations from the town's wind committee and a yearlong moratorium on wind power development that expires in July, has ground the company's progress to a halt.
