On July 11, Lodestar Energy held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate its latest community solar project in New Windsor, New York. The 2.5-MWAC project at Moores Hill will power approximately 350 homes in the City of Kingston with renewable energy and provide residents with environmental, social and economic benefits.
The event brought together Lodestar’s dedicated team and key community partners, including Kingston Mayor Steve Noble and Chief Sustainability Officer Julie Noble, along with representatives from the Mid-Hudson Energy Transition, a local non-profit, and Powermarket, a community subscriber partner. Their collaboration was crucial to the success of the project and securing offtake in Kingston.
The Moores Hill Solar project is part of New York’s “Inclusive Community Solar Adder” program, which incentivizes community solar projects serving low-to-moderate-income subscribers and disadvantaged communities. The program enables Lodestar to partner with the City of Kingston to deliver its clean energy benefits to both the municipality and local residents. In addition to reducing carbon emissions, this project will deliver tax revenues and lower utility bill costs for LMI residents in Kingston, helping make clean energy affordable and accessible for all members of the community.
