The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) has selected Canadian renewable energy company Boralex’s four solar projects.
The 180MW of solar projects have been selected under New York’s 2019 Renewable Energy Standard solicitation for the purchase of Tier-1 eligible renewable energy certificates (RECs).

Nearly 50 to 100 construction jobs in addition to long-term job opportunities will be supported by each project.
New York’s 2019 Renewable Energy Standard solicitation (RESRFP19-1) has resulted in 21 agreements for 17 solar projects, which are expected to develop 1,278MW of capacity.
