Anticipated installed capacity 130 megawatts
Project Overview
The Alabama Solar Park will be located in northwestern Genesee County, New York with a focus in the Town of Alabama and adjacent properties in surrounding towns. Land agreements totaling 3,500 acres have been signed. Alabama Solar's generation will be equivalent to the consumption of more than 40,000 New York homes. The solar park will also complement the area’s agricultural resources, providing farmers with a stable, drought-resistant cash crop in the form of landowner lease payments.
Alabama Solar Park yields significant economic benefits to the community in the form of payments to landowners, local spending, and annual community investment.
In capital investment
Will be paid to landowners
Will be paid to local governments
Four permanent jobs and more than 250 construction jobs will be created
Alabama Solar Park will save more than 165 million gallons of water each year and will displace carbon emissions from fossil fuel power plants, a major contributor to climate change. Solar energy also enhances air quality by helping to mitigate the health effects of harmful air pollutants.

About solar energy
Solar cells have no moving parts and convert sunlight directly into electricity via the photoelectric effect. This direct-current electricity is then collected, transformed into alternating-current, and finally enters the electrical grid through a substation after being converted to the proper voltage.
