LOWVILLE â Large-scale solar projects are moving forward across the north country and statewide, ramping up to submit successful applications to the Office of Renewable Energy Siting â the equivalent of the new siting board in the expedited approval process that replaced Article 10, 94-C.
San Diego-based EDF Renewables, a subsidiary of the French utility company, EDF, announced its contract with NYSERDA under the 2020 Renewable Energy Standard solicitation for three of its projects on Thursday.
One of the three, Tracy Solar Energy Center, is a 119-megawatt project in the towns of Orleans and Clayton that includes a 5-megawatt energy storage system.
This coveted incentive provides a guaranteed revenue stream for the energy produced by the project which will be sold to NYSERDA in the form of âenergy creditsâ which are then sold to state utilities.
