The Astoria Generating Company is reaching out to stakeholders in the Sunset Park community to inform them about its proposed South Pier Improvement Project, which will increase the supply of electricity while decreasing emissions from its facilities in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. The Astoria Generating Company, L.P, a USPowerGen Company, proposes to enhance the Gowanus Generating Station with the addition of approximately 100megawatts (MW) of new cleaner state-of-the-art electric generation while reducing the actual net emissions from the existing facility.
A public hearing has been scheduled by the DEC on Monday April 6th, 2009 from 7pm – 9pm with a one hour Open House prior to the hearing. The public hearing will take place at the PS 24 Auditorium located on 427 38th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232.
Additional information on the proposed project is available on the South Pier Improvement Project website at www.USPowerGen.com or call the hotline 1-888-398-USPG (8774).
