A Clean Electricity Plan for the Hudson River Valley

Pace Law School Energy Project
Hudson River Foundation
Project completed in August 2003.

Synapse developed a clean electricity plan for the Hudson River Valley.  While the plan explored options for reducing electricity use and adding new renewable generation throughout the Valley, it focused on reducing the environmental impacts of four, older power plants on the lower Hudson River: Bowline, Lovett, Danskammer and Roseton.  As part of the work, Synapse modeled the future operation of these plants in a "business-as-usual" scenario, prioritized action in terms of the plants' environmental impacts and assessed a variety of options for reducing the water and air impacts from the plants.
