The story behind this New York renewable energy facility
New York has 567 solar plants in this category, and Barone in Wurtsboro, Sullivan County, ranks #262 of 567 by 2024 electricity produced. It is a solar photovoltaic installation, meaning panels that turn sunlight directly into electricity, with a capacity of 3.0 MW (megawatts, a measure of the most power it can deliver at one moment).
Barone only recently began operating, so a full year of output data is still pending. It is owned by Generate Capital and connects to the Orange & Rockland system, the local utility serving the area. Like all solar, it generates electricity without burning anything.
Nearby places worth exploring
Wurtsboro sits in the southern Catskills, a region known for scenic hills and small towns. Bethel Woods Center for the Arts and the village of Monticello are both nearby in Sullivan County, and the Delaware River forms the county’s western edge.
