COOPERSTOWN – Work on increasing the DeRuyter-Oneonta gas pipeline's capacity by 25 percent will begin next year, NYSEG has told the Otsego County Energy Task Force.
That could mean the "interruptible power" – Oneonta's colleges and Fox Hospital are required to switch to more expensive fuel oil when temperatures drop below zero – will kick in less often, county Rep. Michelle Farwell, D-Morris, the task force co-chair, told the county board at its July meeting Wednesday.
