New York State on November 12 announced $206 million in awards to four large-scale clean energy projects, including two large wind energy farms, a large new hydroelectric project and a small hydroelectric upgrade to an existing dam. All four projects will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve the resiliency of New York’s energy infrastructure.

Once operational, the four projects will add approximately 164 megawatts of new renewable capacity, which will provide about 450,000 megawatt-hours per year of clean renewable energy to New York—enough energy to supply more than 60,000 average-sized homes per year. See the New York news release.
