Central Hudson Energy Group, Inc. is most known for a branch of their company called Central Hudson Gas & Electric. This company delivers electricity and natural gas to its customers throughout the suburbs of New York City to the Capital District surrounding Albany, covering a 2,600 square-mile service territory. Central Hudson Gas & Electric was created in 1925 after a merge of more than 80 independent gas and electric companies.
After the combination of these companies, Central Hudson Energy Group, Inc. was formed as the parent organization. In 2013, Fortis, Inc. acquired the combined entity. Central Hudson Gas & Electric is the only electricity and natural gas provider for those residents living in their 2,600 square-mile territory. They provide for 300,000 electric customers and 78,000 natural gas customers. Their headquarters are located in Poughkeepsie, New York.
Up until the 1980’s, asbestos exposure was nearly unavoidable in power plants. In the 1930’s however, doctors and scientists began informing power plant owners about the serious health risks and dangers of asbestos exposure. Pipes, electrical wires, generators, and other machinery that involved high-temperatures were wrapped with asbestos insulation, and any worker who installed, removed, replaced, or otherwise worked directly in contact with these systems were exposed to the cancer causing substance.
Central Hudson Energy Group, Inc. has two power plants where asbestos-containing materials were used on various types of equipment; the Danskammer Powerhouse in Newburgh, NY, and the Roseton Powerhouse in Roseton, NY. As a result, many who worked within these systems and were exposed to asbestos are now developing mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases. It is important to note that mesothelioma has a latency period of 15 to 60 years. Workers who were exposed to asbestos decades ago may only now begin to show signs of illness.
Mesothelioma, lung cancer, and other asbestos-related disease victims do qualify for compensation.
