The story behind this New York renewable energy facility
Out of 567 solar plants in New York, Kilmer in Ransomville ranks #253 by the electricity it produced in 2024, placing it right around the middle of the pack. It is a solar photovoltaic plant, meaning panels that turn sunlight directly into electricity with no fuel burned. Kilmer Solar LLC owns it, and its capacity is 5.0 MW. That figure is the most power it can send out at one moment, enough for about 440 homes.
Kilmer began operating in 2024, so a full year of data is still pending. The grid it connects to is run by National Grid.
