Renewables Now · last updated

Oxbow Hill Solar was issued a final siting permit by the New York State Office of Renewable Energy Siting and Electric Transmission (ORES).

The proposed photovoltaic (PV) park is planned to be located in the town of Fenner, interconnecting to the New York electrical grid via an existing 115-kV transmission line owned and operated by utility National Grid. The solar arrays will occupy some of the and where the Fenner wind farm is installed, thus creating a co-located solar-wind complex.

Once up and running, the Oxbow Hill solar farm park will be capable of producing enough electricity to supply roughly 23,000 average-sized homes and offset over 177,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions. Construction works are due to be launched in 2026.

Cypress Creek secured the PV project in a land-based renewable energy procurement held in late 2023.

Since 2021, New York State has greenlit 28 large-scale solar and wind power projects, according to the statement.
