Solar Energy Firm Signs Large Deal for New York Project, 12–15 Times Its Average Size

UGE International Ltd. announced the signing of an agreement for its largest U.S. project ever, a 6.6 MW project in Westchester County, New York. Located on a corporate campus, the project will feed energy into the grid while providing energy credits to community solar subscribers at a discounted rate. "The project is approximately 12-15 times the size of UGE's average project and, when completed, will produce power for an estimated 1,000 homes for the duration of the system's lifetime," the company stated. The company also has the option of installing battery storage, "which would provide a further boost to project revenue and returns." The company also announced two additional projects, the first a 1.7 MW, nine-site portfolio in New York City using leased building rooftops. It is also a community solar subscription program and gives residents the "opportunity to save on electric bills through solar energy."
