Governor Kathy Hochul today announced the New York State Office of Renewable Energy Siting has issued a siting permit to Moraine Solar Energy Center, LLC, for EDF Renewables North America to develop, design, construct, operate, maintain, and decommission a 94-megawatt solar facility in the Town of Burns, Allegany County. Once completed, this solar facility is expected to generate enough clean energy to power over 25,000 New York homes and reduce carbon emissions by over 130,000 metric tons, which is equivalent to taking nearly 29,000 cars off the road. This solar facility is expected to create more than 130 full-time equivalent jobs during construction and operation.

Today's announcement, when coupled with previously permitted facilities by the Office, marks the approval of 13 major renewable energy facilities, totaling over 2.1 gigawatts since 2021. This underscores New York's leadership in the fight on climate change by demonstrating the most rapid pace of major renewable energy facility approvals in the State’s history.
