Galloo Island Wind Farm developer Upstate NY Power Corp told the Public Service Commission that an underwater route requires an up-front buyer for the electricity from the project.

In a letter (PDF format) from Thursday following up from an Oct. 13 conference call, attorney Robert W. Burgdorf, Nixon Peabody, Buffalo, said the sub-aquatic route for a line from Galloo Island to a substation in the town of Scriba requires more investigation into engineering, regulatory, financing and technical considerations.
