CS Energy, CVE starts construction of 22 MW solar portfolio in New York

CS Energy and CVE North America have started the construction of a 22 MW solar photovoltaic portfolio consisting of four community solar projects located in Western New York State, USA. 

CVE North America developed these projects, all of which will utilize Solar FlexRack solar trackers. These projects will bring the total amount of solar energy projects completed between CS Energy and CVE North America to over 50 MW. All four projects will provide discounted electricity bills for over 4,000 low-to-middle-income residents and are expected to reach completion by Q4 of 2023.

In addition to providing savings to local residents in Western New York State, this portfolio of projects will also contribute to the state's goal to generate 70% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030 and the governor's goal to achieve 10 GW of solar by 2030. In total, these projects will also have the effect of avoiding greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 192,330 miles driven by gasoline-powered cars per year.
