Rochester Community Power plans to provide 300 million kWh annually to 57,000 Rochester residents and small businesses, with a community solar opt-out program expected to launch in early 2022.

The company plans to bring 140 MW of community solar online by the end of 2022, and has signed an agreement to bring as much as 240 MW to the state in the coming years.

The 6.9 MW Lenox Community Solar Project is nearly complete and includes a 20 MWh DC-coupled battery energy storage system.

Nexamp is developing the nearly two dozen solar projects across the Empire State. Energy will power Walmart retail outlets and a distribution center.
