Watertown Daily Times LOWVILLE Large-scale solar projects are moving forward across the North Country and statewide, ramping up to submit successful applications to the Office of Renewable Energy Siting the equivalent of the new siting board in the expedited approval process that replaced Article 10, 94-C. San Diego-based EDF Renewables, a subsidiary of the French utility company, EDF, announced its contract with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority under the 2020 Renewable Energy Standard solicitation for three of its projects on Thursday. One of the three, Tracy Solar Energy Center, is a 119-megawatt project in the towns of Orleans and Clayton that includes a 5-megawatt energy storage system.

When Stephanie Garcia Richard took the office of State Land Commissioner following the 2018 elections, she had the goal of tripling renewable energy development on state lands.
“We are very rapidly closing in on that goal two years later,” Garcia Richard told
NM Political Report.
There were 453 megawatts of renewable energy when she took office. That has more than doubled in the past couple of years and the State Land Office has inked deals for even more future projects.
Angie Poss, a spokesperson for the State Land Office, said 466 megawatts have been added since Garcia Richard took office and, with the upcoming projects, the office will definitely get to the goal of tripling renewable energy on state trust land.
