The story behind this New York renewable energy facility
New York has 567 solar plants in this category, and Angelica Solar Site 4 in Allegany County ranks #79 of 567 by electricity produced in 2024. It uses solar photovoltaic technology, meaning panels that turn sunlight directly into electricity with no moving parts, and it began operating in 2022.
The site has a capacity of 5.0 MW, which is the most power it can deliver at any single moment. Over a year it produced 8.1 gigawatt-hours, a unit for measuring large amounts of electricity, or about 810 homes’ worth. Its output is renewable and carbon-free.
Environmental impact
Produces electricity without burning fuel, which avoids roughly 3,100 metric tons of carbon dioxide a year compared with producing the same electricity from the national mix of power sources — about the same as the carbon absorbed by about 3,200 acres of forest in a year.*
Nearby places worth exploring
