The story behind this New York renewable energy facility
Quaker is one of 567 solar plants in New York’s clean-energy category, and it ranks #554 of 567 by 2024 electricity produced. It sits at 53 Quaker Ridge Blvd. in Queensbury, Warren County, and began operating in 2024.
The plant uses solar photovoltaic technology, meaning panels that turn sunlight straight into electricity with no fuel burned. Its nameplate capacity, the most power it can deliver at one moment, is 5.0 MW, enough for about 13 homes. Because it only recently started up, a full year of output isn’t available yet.
