Liberty Gap does not ask PSC to reconsider W.Va. wind proposal
CHARLESTON, W.Va. - After filing for more time to decide, Liberty Gap LLC has opted not to ask the West Virginia Public Service Commission to reconsider its decision denying a state permit for the proposed wind energy utility in Pendleton County.
The developer's application for certificate to build a 50-turbine industrial wind plant atop Jack Mountain was rejected by the PSC last month, and the company had 10 days, plus a 10-day extension to file a petition for reconsideration.
In a letter sent to the PSC, Liberty Gap said it does not intend to file for that petition.
But there are two other options for the company if it is to pursue a permit for the Pendleton project, as described by Liberty Gap spokesman Frank Maisano after the original PSC order. It can either appeal the agency's decision to the West Virginia Supreme Court within 30 days or refile its application altogether.
In its order denying the permit, the PSC said Liberty Gap's application failed to provide all the necessary information, including relevant details in a five-mile-radius map of the project site.
