The story behind this New York renewable energy facility
New York has 567 solar plants in this category, and the Boas Rd #3 Community Solar Farm in Mooers, Clinton County, ranks #353 of 567 by 2024 electricity produced. It uses solar photovoltaic technology, which means panels that turn sunlight directly into electricity. It began operating in 2019 and is owned by Altus Power America Management, LLC.
With a capacity of 2.0 MW (a megawatt is a measure of the most power a plant can deliver at once), it produced 3.1 gigawatt-hours in 2024, or about 310 homes’ worth of electricity. A gigawatt-hour is a way of counting a large amount of energy over time. Its power reaches customers through NYSEG.
Environmental impact
Produces electricity without burning fuel, which avoids roughly 1,200 metric tons of carbon dioxide a year compared with producing the same electricity from the national mix of power sources — about the same as taking about 260 cars off the road for a year.*
