Con Ed hydro plant near Storm King Mountain approved with conditions
Federal Power Commission examiner Ewing G. Simpson recommended approving Consolidated Edison’s proposed 2000 megawatt Cornwall hydroelectric project near Storm King Mountain. The 183.6 million plan, pending FPC review, would include dams, a tunnel to an underground power station, transmission lines, and on site recreational facilities while imposing conditions for dike seepage monitoring and independent oversight. If allowed, the project aims to enhance Hudson River power supply and recreational development, balancing conservation with energy needs.
