ALPHA GENERATION

Ridge Road Solar

INTRODUCTION

Ridge Road Solar is expected to deliver long-term value for the local community and environment. The project will create construction jobs, drive local economic activity during development and operation, and generate tax revenue through PILOT agreements.

By redeveloping a former fuel storage site into a clean energy facility, Ridge Road Solar supports New York State’s renewable energy and climate targets. The design also prioritises responsible development, incorporating measures such as visual buffers and careful site planning to minimise environmental impact and avoid disruption to surrounding wetlands.
