The story behind this New York renewable energy facility
Among New York’s 567 solar plants in this category, County Route 11B near Mooers Forks ranks #268 by 2024 electricity produced, putting it squarely in the middle of the pack. It is a solar photovoltaic plant, meaning panels that turn sunlight directly into electricity, with a capacity of 4.9 MW (a megawatt is a unit of power, the most the plant can deliver at one moment).
The plant began operating in 2024, so a full year of output data is still pending. It is owned by Generate Capital and connects to the NYSEG grid. Solar plants produce electricity without burning fuel, and the sun’s schedule shapes when they generate.
