NY Renewable Energy Update


Orsted and Eversource, the Developers of the State’s First Offshore Wind Farm that will provide Energy for the South Fork, have reached Agreement with the Town of East Hampton on the Terms of a Host Community Benefit Package and Easement Details for the Project’s Underground Transmission Line. The Proposed Deal includes just under $29 Million in Cash over 25 years. The Project will bring Clean Energy, Clean Air, Green Jobs, and a more Resilient Future to the East End of Long Island.

Adelphi University launched a Postgraduate Certificate Program in Environmental Justice for Social Workers, the First of its kind in the County. The Program will help Social Workers address the Effects of Climate Change on Frontline Communities.

The Town of Kingston is Partnering with Bard College to Collect Air Quality Data and to Educate Kingston Residents about the Harm of Air Pollutants.

The City of Buffalo is seeking to build a Large Solar Array on the Unity Island Landfill to Power the Buffalo Sewer Authority's Wastewater Treatment Plant. The Plan calls for a 4.72 Megawatt System encompassing most of the Landfill capable of Producing 5 Million Kilowatt Hours of Energy to Offset the Sewer Authority's Electricity Usage. The Developer also intends to Work with Master Gardeners and Consultants to Include a Pollinator and Conservation Component, with Native Plants that would Grow only a Few Feet in Height so that they would Not Interfere with the Array.
