Electrical Power
Anticipated electrical loading requirement for the Project is 185 megawatts. National Grid
completed a review of system impact of low connection for the Project Site which evaluated
the ability of National Grid’s Genesee Regional Power Structure to provide the megawatt loadage
on a five-year horizon for the Project. National Grid considers the findings and analysis
contained in its report to be confidential information, and for both proprietary and security
reasons, cannot be disclosed publicly. Nevertheless, several of the levels for the Project Site
were considered by National Grid. It was concluded that a 9 megawatt load without reactive
compensation or a 30 megawatt load with reactive compensation could be supplied at the
Project Site without thermal voltage problems developing for the existing system. In addition,
the Project Site lies within the Niagara Hydro Power Zone and will draw its electrical
consumption needs from this renewable energy source.
Natural Gas
Estimated annual consumption of natural gas for the combined facilities to be located at the
Project is 2,700 MMCF according to the Gas Service Analysis provided in the DGEIS. The
proposed gas distribution plan set forth in the Gas Service Analysis contains the main
components necessary to satisfy the Project’s ultimate service requirements in consideration of
the operation’s parameters for the existing gas distribution system. The nearest natural gas
distribution line is located the distance of approximately five (5) miles from the Project Site,
near the intersection of Judge Road and Lewiston Road on the northwest side of the Village of
Oakfield. Once the gas main extends the boundary of the Project Site, the available gas
pressure will be in the range of 30-80 PSIG.
Telecommunications
The Genesee County website indicates that there are existing fiber optic lines running close to
the Project Site in two (2) locations. One line is located at the Lewiston Road-Route 77/63
intersection near the northeast corner of the Project Site, and the other is located at the Judge
Road-Route 77/63 intersection near the southeast corner of the Project Site.
Minimization and Mitigation Measures
The following measure shall be implemented as part of the development of the Project Site in
order to minimize potential impacts to existing utility resources to the maximum extent
practicable:
a. The improvements determined to be necessary for the Project Site as outlined in the
Water Service Preliminary Report in the DGEIS shall be implemented (as necessary and
applicable) on a going-forward basis as part of the Phase 1 and full build-out
development phases of the Project in conformance with any and all applicable
requirements of the Counties of Genesee and Erie, the Monroe County Water Authority,
the Town of Alabama, and the Village of Oakfield.
