Lawmakers call on Hochul to support repowering NRG plant in Dunkirk
Senate Republican George Borrello, Congressman Nick Langworthy, and Assemblyman Andrew Molitor are pressing Governor Hochul to back repowering the NRG plant in Dunkirk. The coalition argues that updating the facility could bolster energy reliability and local jobs while supporting broader energy goals.
