State Delays Decision On Power Plant In Greenpoint


JUNE 06TH, 2004


Brooklyn residents will have to wait another month to find out if a power plant is coming to Greenpoint.

Tans Gas Energy wants to build an 1,100-megawatt plant on the Brooklyn waterfront.

The New York State Board on Electric Generation Siting and the Environment was supposed to make a final decision on the plant Saturday. But the decision was delayed because the board has to review a proposal from the gas company that would put the plant underground.

The Greenpoint-Williamsburg Waterfront Task Force, a group opposed to the power plant, calls the plan a fantasy.

The board is now expected to make a decision on July 8.
