Boralex awarded 180 MW total of solar projects in New York

Boralex Inc. (Boralex) has announce that its Greens Corners (120 MW), Sandy Creek (19.99 MW), Bald Mountain (19.99 MW), and West River (19.99 MW) solar projects were selected by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), as part of its 2019 Renewable Energy Standard Solicitation for the purchase of New York Tier-1 Eligible Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs).

The selection of these projects has commenced a process whereby Boralex and NYSERDA are working towards the execution of Renewable Energy Standard Agreements for the purchase of RECs associated with the energy production of each of the projects. Each REC represents the environmental attributes of a one-megawatt hour of electricity generated from an eligible renewable source like solar.

• The 120 MW Greens Corners Solar facility is located in the Town of Watertown and in the Town of Hounsfield, Jefferson County.
• The 19.99 MW Sandy Creek Solar facility is located in the Town of Adams andEllisburg, Jefferson County.
• The 19.99 MW Bald Mountain Solar is located in the Town of Greenwich, Washington County.
