Kent Falls Dam upgrades on schedule
NYSEG $37.1 million project to bring added power to Town of Plattsburgh
June 11, 2026 – Chamber of Commerce News – After securing PSC approval last year with strong support from the North Country Chamber and our partners, the major electricity capacity upgrade at Kent Falls is proceeding on schedule. When fully completed in the first quarter of 2029, the $37.1 million project will bring 30 MW of added power availability in the Town of Plattsburgh, supporting economic growth in the years ahead.
Conceptual engineering has been completed and detailed engineering and procurement are underway, placing the project at an estimated 15-20% completion state. We again thank NYSEG, the PSC and Governor Kathy Hochul for moving this crucial power project forward, as well as our partners at the Town, TDC, Clinton County IDA and Empire State Development along with Assemblyman Michael Cashman for their continued support.
