SunEdison to develop 7 photovoltaic solar power projects in Long Island
SunEdison has signed agreements with five municipal entities on Long Island (USA) to build seven solar power plants totaling 14 MW.
The electricity from these power plants will be sold to the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA), an electricity service provider for 1.1 million customers in Long Island, New York, through separate 20 year power purchase agreements (PPA). The contracts with the Town of Southold, Town of Easthampton, Nassau County, Suffolk County and the Suffolk County Water Authoritywere awarded as part of the LIPA 100 MW Clean Solar Initiative Feed-in Tariff program.
Steve Raeder, managing director of Eastern USA distributed generation for SunEdison, stated:
"LIPA's Clean Solar Initiative program allows communities to benefit from locally generated solar energy, enabling them to better control energy costs. This program has been extremely successful and we look forward to developing more projects in Long Island."
"And with the new NYSERDA block incentive program and the governor's Reforming the Energy Vision plan, we can replicate our success in Long Island and bring clean, affordable solar energy to customers across the entire state of New York."
These solar power plants are on the Call Right Projects List for SunEdison's Yieldco affiliate, TerraForm Power, Inc., a global owner and operator of clean energy power plants. Accordingly, TerraForm Power expects to purchase these projects upon completion. Operation and maintenance of the solar power plant will be performed by SunEdison Services.
