The story behind this New York renewable energy facility
New York has 567 solar plants in this category, and the Route 22 Community Solar Farm in Plattsburgh ranks #174 of 567 by 2024 electricity produced. It has operated since 2021 and is owned by KSI II Consolidated, LLC, serving the NYSEG area.
The farm uses solar photovoltaic technology, meaning panels that turn sunlight directly into electricity. Its capacity is 3.7 MW, a megawatt being a measure of the most power it can deliver at one moment. Over the year it produced 6.4 gigawatt-hours, a gigawatt-hour being a large unit of energy, which is enough for about 640 homes.
Environmental impact
Produces electricity without burning fuel, which avoids roughly 2,500 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 2,500 acres of forest in a year.*
