Solar in New York
Powering a Clean Energy Future
For over 35 years, we have worked with hundreds of communities across the country building long-standing relationships with local leaders and neighbors. We invest in our host communities and landowners and take great pride in their success. Our projects provide jobs, tax revenues, landowner payments and other sources of local economic development. EDF Renewables is committed to our host communities for the life of the project.
EDF Renewables has been developing, building and operating clean energy projects in New York since 2016. We have a pipeline with over 2,000 MW of projects to help New York reach its climate goals, including 70% renewable energy by 2030. In addition to the environmental benefits, the potential economic impact these future projects can bring to New York is significant. As shown below:
EDF Renewables recognizes all members of our communities. Here are just a few examples of additional benefits we've created to help make our projects as impactful as they can be:
Our annual Share the Sun donation program gives funds to community groups and initiatives, chosen by a local selection committee
We award $2,000 annual scholarships to local school district(s) for a student interested in trades or renewable energy
We engage in early and ongoing coordination with training and employment centers, as well as BOCES, community colleges and union institutions, to create educational opportunities and find ways to integrate the local workforce into the fast-growing solar industry
