Committee approves two solar PILOT agreements and a NYSEG easement
Summary
The committee advanced payment-in-lieu-of-tax agreements for two Wawarsing solar projects and authorized an easement with New York State Electric and Gas for a pole and anchor on Herdman Road
On Sept. 2 the Energy, Environment and Sustainability Committee advanced three routine items related to renewable energy and utility infrastructure.
The committee approved two payment-in-lieu-of-taxes (PILOT) resolutions authorizing the chair to execute PILOT agreements with Wawarsing East Solar LLC (Resolution 410) and Wawarsing West Solar LLC (Resolution 411). Legislators described the agreements as county-authorized PILOT arrangements; committee discussion noted the companies were offering payment in lieu of a standard PILOT receipt (a “reverse pilot” phrasing was used by a member to describe aspects of the arrangements). Both resolutions passed in committee on voice votes with no recorded opposition.
The committee also approved Resolution 412, authorizing the chair to sign a permanent easement with New York State Electric and Gas Corporation (NYSEG) to install a new pole and anchor on Herdman Road in the Town of Shandaken; that resolution advanced without substantive debate.
Ending: All three items were forwarded to the legislature for final action; committee members said they would circulate the PILOT agreements to Finance staff as needed.
