Fort Edward Solar Project

planned

A 100-megawatt solar project in the Town of Fort Edward, New York, approved by the New York State Department of Public Service. The project will generate emissions-free electricity to power approximately 25,600 homes and is expected to be operational by 2030. It will create about 120 construction jobs and provide over $14 million in community benefits through tax payments and agreements with local governments and schools. Residents may receive about $500,000 in utility bill credits over the first decade of operation. The project design was revised to reduce impacts on farmland, wetlands, and wildlife habitat, including grassland bird habitats.
