Government Kathy Hochul today announced that contracts were conducted for 26 large -scale land -based land -based energy that will offer more than 2.5 GW of clean energy after completion, sufficient to feed more than 670,000 houses in the New York state. These projects are expected to create more than 1,900 jobs in the short term and generate more than $ 6 billion in private investments, while the dedication of the state to the development of locally produced clean energy, grid weather force and economic development will be strengthened.
“New York creates competitive opportunities for the clean energy industry, and we could not do this without the shared dedication of our private partners,” Gov said. Hochul. “The progress of renewable energy is part of the basis of New York’s plan to transform into an electricity system with zero emission and to improve the momentum of our green economy.”
These contracted prices are the result of the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority’s (Nyserda) 2024 Tier 1 Standard Sand stand of renewable energy. Once built, the projects will produce approximately 5,000 GWH annually, which is sufficient to provide more than 670,000 houses with electricity, benefits for public health as a result of reduced exposure to harmful air pollutants; And offer more than $ 300 million in obligations to disadvantaged communities, as defined by the working group for Climate Justice, from long -term payments to funds for the community.
“While New York is moving to a clean energy economy, we celebrate these 26 projects and the considerable energy they will offer,” said Nyserda President and CEO Doreen M. Harris. “New York remains an innovator in accelerating clean energy projects, promoting jobs of clean energy and stimulating opportunities for economic development for companies and our local communities throughout our state.”

Various projects have already started with construction activities. All projects are expected to be operational by 2029.
Moreover, the state will continue to emphasize commitments with the host communities of the projects. Nyserda offers resources and free technical assistance to help local governments understand how to manage the responsible development of clean energy in their communities, including step -by -step instructions and tools to coordinate new energy projects, processes, real estate tax, Siting, zoning plans and more.
