The story behind this New York renewable energy facility
New York has 567 solar plants in this category, and this one in Geneseo ranks #209 of 567 by the electricity it produced in 2024. Owned by NYSolar03 LLC, it began operating in 2024 and uses solar photovoltaic technology, which means panels that turn sunlight directly into electricity.
In 2024 it generated 5.7 gigawatt-hours, a unit for measuring large amounts of electricity, which is about 570 homes’ worth of power. Its capacity is 5.0 MW, a megawatt being the most power it can deliver at one moment. Solar produces no combustion, and it connects to the National Grid system.
Environmental impact
Produces electricity without burning fuel, which avoids roughly 2,200 metric tons of carbon dioxide a year compared with producing the same electricity from the national mix of power sources — about the same as the carbon absorbed by about 2,300 acres of forest in a year.*
Nearby places worth exploring
