Foley Hoag Represents Hecate Energy in Permitting for 500MW Cider Solar Project
November 22, 2024
On November 18, 2024, New York State’s Office of Renewable Energy Siting and Electric Transmission issued a conditional Notice to Proceed with construction for the Cider Solar Farm, a 500MW photovoltaic solar energy facility under development by Hecate Energy in Genesee County, New York. Foley Hoag counseled Hecate Energy with respect to the permitting of the utility-scale solar project that will be built on approximately 2,200 acres and supply more than 1 million MWhs of clean energy annually.
Hecate Energy is a developer of solar power plants, wind-power plants and energy storage solutions. Its team members have developed thousands of megawatts of electricity generation projects, including several in New York and the Northeastern United States. The Cider Solar project will be built upon 60 parcels of private land north of the villages of Elba and Oakfield, New York and will include agrivoltaics approaches, incorporating agriculture and energy production, while also providing local benefits such as tax revenue, clean energy jobs and local affordable electricity.
Foley Hoag attorneys Noah Shaw, Sarah Main, and Peter Ross advised Hecate Energy on this project.
