Project Overview

Sandy Creek Solar Farm is a 19.99-megawatt (MW) photovoltaic solar energy generation facility to be located in the Town of Adams and the Town of Ellisburg, Jefferson County, New York. The project will include solar arrays and feature site roads and the electrical interconnection to National Grid 115kV circuit.

Currently in early-stage development, the facility is expected to be commissioned in Q4 2023 or earlier. Boralex is in the process of developing all studies, supporting materials, and applications required to complete the permitting and interconnection approval process.

This project aligns with the New York State Public Service Commission’s Clean Energy Standard, which supports the development of clean energy and renewable resources in New York State (NYS).
