Watertown Daily Times LOWVILLE 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 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 the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority under the 2020 Renewable Energy Standard solicitation for three of its projects on Thursday.

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.
CHAUMONT â Town residents had a lot of questions for the developers of a planned solar power facility to be built between the towns of Lyme and Brownville.
At a community engagement forum held virtually Tuesday night, 41 area residents submitted nearly 60 questions to the projectâs staff on issues ranging from where the produced power will go to what will happen when the facility is taken down at the end of its life.
National energy company AES is currently moving through a siting process to build the facility, named the Riverside Solar project, which it anticipates will be able to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 133,000 metric tons per year.
