Air quality & health in Cattaraugus County

No ozone or particle pollution grades are available for this county in the most recent report. The figures above describe how many residents live with conditions sensitive to air quality — not measured pollution levels.
Long-term exposure to air pollution has been linked to certain health conditions, particularly for children and older adults. Where electricity comes from affects how much combustion pollution is produced on the grid.
These figures describe the county as a whole and are not specific to this facility. Sources: American Lung Association – State of the Air (New York); U.S. EPA Air Quality Index.
The story behind this New York renewable energy facility
Pivot Solar NY 3 is one of 567 solar plants in New York in this category, ranking #414 of 567 by electricity produced in 2024. It sits in Delevan, in Cattaraugus County, and is owned by Pivot Energy. The plant uses solar photovoltaic technology, which means panels that turn sunlight directly into electricity with no moving parts.
The plant began operating in 2024, so a full year of output data is still pending. Its capacity is 2.3 MW, a megawatt being a measure of the most power a plant can deliver at one moment. It connects to the grid through National Grid, the local utility that carries electricity to customers.
Because sunlight produces no combustion, the plant burns no fuel.
Nearby places worth exploring
Delevan is in the hills of western New York, not far from Allegany State Park, a large and popular park for hiking and camping. The ski village of Ellicottville, home to Holiday Valley resort, is also a short drive away. Farther south near Olean, St. Bonaventure University adds a campus-town feel to the region.
