Oswego County's Public Utility Service is offering low-cost electrical
energy to new and expanding businesses in Oswego County. The goal of the
low-cost power program is to create or retain jobs using low-cost
electricity produced by Entergy Nuclear Northeast at the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant in Scriba.
The Oswego County Public Utility Service is allocating up to 10
megawatts of low-cost power per year until 2010. Entergy is providing the
electrical power as part of the tax agreement for the FitzPatrick
plant. Entergy Nuclear Northeast is providing up to 10 megawatts of
electricity a year, at $32 per megawatt-hour, between 2005 and 2010.
This program provides a substantial cost savings to new and expanding
businesses that create jobs in Oswego County. Any unallocated power can
be used by local governments and school districts to save on their energy
costs.
Businesses may request an allocation through the Oswego County Public
Utility Service. Applicants are asked to provide detailed information
about the new project they are undertaking, their job creation plans, and
their power usage requirements. To be eligible, businesses must meet
certain minimum usage requirements and commit to create or retain
permanent jobs.
The County Legislature appointed a Public Utility Board to review
applications and select eligible businesses. Preference will be given to
businesses that are not eligible for other low-cost power programs.
Select Energy, a leading
provider of energy solutions in the Northeastern U.S., was chosen by
Oswego County to administer the low-cost power program on behalf of the
county.
Businesses, municipalities and school districts that are interested in
applying should contact Select Energy through its agent, Natural Gas Business Associates
of Liverpool, phone 315-453-2482.
