Advanced Energy Information Center

Learning about emerging energy technologies and what they could mean for Schuyler County.

Current Status

There is no proposed nuclear power plant project in Schuyler County.

FLX Gateway is monitoring emerging technologies and providing resources for informed public discussion.

What you'll find here.

This information center is designed to help Schuyler County residents learn about advanced energy technologies through credible, publicly available resources. It includes background information, answers to common questions, educational videos, and links to organizations responsible for research, regulation, and public information.

Frequently Asked Questions for Schuyler County Residents

This section addresses the most common questions about FLX Gateway’s involvement in discussions concerning advanced nuclear and other emerging energy technologies. It focuses specifically on what is—and is not—happening in Schuyler County. For broader technical information, this page also links to outside resources from regulatory agencies, government laboratories, research organizations, and other sources.

Understanding New York's Changing Energy Landscape

At the FLX Gateway annual meeting, our keynote presenter discussed how we got here. That is, how energy development in New York is changing from renewables to advanced energy. This four-part series provides background on renewable development, electricity demand, advanced energy technologies, and regulatory and community considerations. The views expressed by the presenter are intended to encourage informed discussion and do not represent approval of a specific project, site, or technology.

Updates and Questions

This page will be updated as New York State releases new information, emerging energy technologies continue to evolve, and additional credible resources become available.
