The story behind this New York renewable energy facility
New York has 567 solar plants in this category, and NSF Aurelius Site 1 LLC, which sits on West Genesee Street Road in Auburn, ranks #250 of 567 by 2024 electricity produced. It is a solar photovoltaic plant, meaning panels turn sunlight directly into electricity, with a capacity of 5.0 MW, or megawatts, a measure of the most power it can deliver at once.
The plant began operating in 2024, so a full year of output data is still pending. It is owned by NSF Energy One LLC and serves customers of NYSEG. Because it burns no fuel, it makes electricity from sunlight alone.
