New York State's Single-Largest Commitment to Renewable Energy Ever

New York. Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) on Friday announced $1.4 billion in funding for 26 renewable energy projects.

  • The projects include 22 utility-scale solar farms, three wind farms and a single hydroelectric project. The largest project will be Invenergy's 340 MW wind farm in Western New York. All told the projects will add almost 1,400 MW.
