New York Announces $1.4B Renewables Funding
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.
- The projects were selected following a solicitation to support the Clean Climate Careers initiative Cuomo launched last summer with a target of 40,000 new clean energy jobs by 2020.
