Agricultural Research Service acquisition for an energy savings performance project at the Plum Island Animal Disease Center (PIADC) in Plum Island, New York, has been canceled. The project was to consist of wind energy (turbines), thermal storage system, energy-efficient lighting replacement, energy-efficient motor replacement, optimizers for the boilers, augmenting existing chilling capacity with a chiller/ice making system (part of thermal storage), and replacing back-up generators with more efficient generators. Considering both economic and environmental factors, the Government has determined the wind energy project not to be feasible at this time. (0175)
