New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation has denied permits to two proposed natural gas upgrades to existing power plants, citing concern about climate change and greenhouse gas emissions associated with the plants. 

The agency denied permits to a major expansion of the Danskammer Energy Center in Newburgh, New York, and upgrades to the Astoria Gas Turbine Power plant in Queens. In both cases, the agency “determined the proposed project does not demonstrate compliance with the requirements of the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act," according to a statement.
