The story behind this New York renewable energy facility
New York has 567 solar plants in this category, and NY- CSG- Johnstown 2 ranks #438 of 567 by the electricity it produced in 2024. It uses solar photovoltaic technology, meaning panels that turn sunlight directly into electricity with no fuel burned. It began operating in 2020 and has a capacity of 2.0 MW, a megawatt being a measure of the most power a plant can deliver at one moment.
In 2024 it produced 2.4 gigawatt-hours, a unit of electricity over time, which is about 240 homes’ worth of yearly use. Its output flows to the grid in the National Grid service area, and since sunshine varies by season and weather, solar plants typically run well below their top capacity.
Environmental impact
Produces electricity without burning fuel, which avoids roughly 920 metric tons of carbon dioxide a year compared with producing the same electricity from the national mix of power sources — about the same as taking about 200 cars off the road for a year.*
