Solar Energy Projects
Wheatfield, NY
6.3 MW Community Solar Project
Built on a parcel of land just off Lockport Road, Wheatfield Solar is a 6.3 MW project that will serve nearly 1,000 local residents who are National Grid customers. It features 15,548 solar panels and generates clean energy to feed the local utility grid. Subscribers receive community solar credits that will help reduce their annual electricity costs.
Mayfield 1, NY
3.7 MW Community Solar Project
One of two co-located projects in Gloversville, NY, this 3.7 MW solar farm features nearly 15,000 solar panels. Sending clean energy out to the National Grid electric grid, the project produces enough energy credit to offset the needs of approximately 1,000 average homes in the area. The solar farms are built on already cleared land and brought jobs and revenue to the area through construction and ongoing maintenance. Anyone who gets power from National Grid in the state can subscribe to this farm and save up to 10% on their electric bill.
Mayfield 2, NY
6.5 MW Community Solar Project
One of two co-located projects in Gloversville, NY, this 6.5 MW solar farm features more than 9,200 solar panels. Sending clean energy out to the National Grid electric grid, the project produces enough energy credit to offset the needs of approximately 500 average homes in the area.
Westerlo, NY
13.9 MW Community Solar Project
Shepard's Farm community solar project was developed on a 157-acre parcel. Due to the size of this project, an express feeder was constructed by CHGE for approximately 3 miles interconnecting to the Westerlo Substation. In coordination with the Town and School District, we entered into a multi-jurisdictional PILOT and Community Host agreement. The project is now owned and operated by Nexamp.
Walden, NY
6.5 MW Community Solar Project with Battery Storage
1343 Walden was a 6.5MWdc community solar project with an AC coupled 8MWhr battery plant located within the town of Montgomery. This project was located in an RA zone which required consolidation of parcel to meet coverage requirements. It was also one of the first candidates that was required to comply with NYSERDA assisted Department Agriculture & Markets NOI requirements and solar installation guidelines.
Town of Montgomery, NY
5.3 MW Community Solar Project
The Albany Post Road community solar project was the first project in the Town of Montgomery to be considered under the new solar law. The project encompassed consolidation of three parcels, 34.5KV line extension and a few small utility upgrades. This project was one of the first large scale single axis trackers in NY and the first tracker for the EPC in the northeast zone.
