The New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) manages New York’s electricity transmission grid – a 10,775-mile network of high-voltage lines that carry electricity throughout the state. The NYISO also oversees wholesale electricity markets where more than $50 billion has been transacted since 1999.
The NYISO Interconnection Queue (the spreadsheet) lists projects that are active in the NYISO interconnection process, or were active in the process but recently went into service (projects that have gone in-service eventually are removed from this list). Additionally, projects that are withdrawn from the Queue are also listed . The NYISO Queue Spreadsheet indicates that the Horse creek wind project was recently withdrawn from the Queue 7/31/2017.
Under the NYISO tariff, a Developer can withdraw their project from the Queue at any time (they don’t have to give a reason). The tariff also allows NYISO to withdraw a project from the Queue for very specific reasons/circumstances spelled out in the tariff. (NYISO cannot withdraw a project from the Queue without a reason defined in the tariff.) An HTML version of NYISO's Consumer Interest Liaison Weekley Summary (Seen here) indicates the NYISO Operating Committee (OC) approved the Horse Creek System Reliability Study or (SIRS) The "SIRS"is an engineering study that evaluates the impact of the proposed Generation Facility or Merchant Transmission System.This would seem to indicate that the withdrawal of Horse Creek was a decision made by the developer and not NYISO.
Link here to the NYISO Website Once you are on the NYISO website click the link that reads "View The Interconnection Queue". Clicking this link will open the Excell Spreadsheet showing all of the Active projects in the Queue. Down at the bottom of the page on the left you will see two tabs, one marked Active and one marked Withdrawn. Click on the Withdrawn tab. All of the projects that have been withdrawn from the Queue will appear. Scroll down to #375 and you will see that Horse creek was withdrawn July 31,2017
Below is a copy of the Queue that was downloaded to my Scribd account.

Phew! That was close!
This news comes just in time for the leadership of the town of Clayton to to decide to pull the plug. A year has gone by since Atlantic Wind submitted the PIP. Nothing has happened after the open house in Depauville 11 months ago. This project has been dead for nearly a year. It is time for the PSC to clean up this mess and pronounce this project officially dead.
