The county received a grade of C for ozone pollution. For particle pollution — the fine soot and dust that can be breathed deep into the lungs — it received a grade of A.
Federal monitoring recorded 218 days of good air quality and 50 moderate days in the county over the most recent year, with 4 days rated unhealthy for sensitive groups.
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.

The story behind this New York renewable energy facility
New York has 567 solar plants in this category, and Pivot Solar NY 6 in Ticonderoga ranks #248 of 567 by 2024 electricity produced. The facility is a solar photovoltaic plant, meaning it uses panels that turn sunlight directly into electricity, with no fuel burned. Owned by Pivot Energy, it began operating in 2024, so a full year of data is still pending.
Its nameplate capacity is 5.0 MW, which is the most power it can deliver at one moment (a megawatt, or MW, is a million watts). That is enough to supply about 450 homes. Power from the plant moves onto the National Grid system, which serves the area.
Nearby places worth exploring
Ticonderoga sits in Essex County, on the eastern edge of the Adirondacks, with the Lake Champlain shoreline forming the county’s eastern boundary. Farther into the county, Lake Placid and the Adirondack High Peaks draw hikers and skiers, and Whiteface Mountain rises near Wilmington.
