Cider Solar Farm, US
Name of the Project
Cider Solar Farm.
Location
Genesee County, New York, US.
Project Owner/s
Energy transition-focused investment manager and independent power producer Greenbacker Renewable Energy Company.
Project Description
The solar farm will be New York’s biggest upon its completion in 2026.
Once it enters commercial operation, the 674 MW solar farm is expected to supply about one-million megawatt-hours of renewable electricity a year – enough to power about 120 000 New York households.
The project also plans to employ agrivoltaics – a practice that uses a site for solar PV power generation and agricultural activities. Initially, Cider plans to host rotational sheep grazing on about 121 ha, with the potential to expand this over Cider’s operational lifetime, as part of a more cost-effective, nature-based approach to vegetation management at the site, the company has said.
Potential Job Creation
Cider’s construction is expected to support hundreds of clean-energy jobs.
Capital Expenditure
The project has received an estimated $1-billion in aggregate financing to support acquisition, construction and operation.
Planned Start/End Date
The project broke ground in late 2024 and is slated for completion in late 2026.
Latest Developments
