There has been debate over the potential responses to the closure of IPEC which include the development of new generation and transmission infrastructure. This derives in part from difficulties in comparing direct and indirect costs and benefits and environmental and social impacts, which vary substantially across energy alternatives. In particular, the potential role of increased imports of hydropower from Canada to the New York City area has been controversial because of large upfront capital costs and uncertain benefits relative to alternatives such as increased build-out of Downstate New York offshore wind and solar.application/pdfenCreative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhydropowerrenewable energyeconomic valuationReport2020-10-13https://doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.31648.40965Calder, Ryan [0000-0001-5618-9840]
