New York Approves 140-MW Solar Project in Madison County - New York approved the 140-MW Oxbow Hill Solar project in Madison County. It will connect through an existing 115-kV line and share land with the Fenner wind farm. Co-locating projects like this reuses infrastructure, cuts permitting delays, and delivers clear emissions and cost benefits.
New York just gave the green light to a 140-MW solar project in Madison County, proposed by @Cypress Creek Renewables.
The Oxbow Hill Solar project will connect to the grid through an existing 115-kV line and share land with the Fenner wind farm. Co-locating renewables like this makes practical use of what’s already in place.
Once built, the project will generate enough electricity to power about 23,000 homes and offset over 177,000 tonnes of carbon emissions. Construction starts in 2026.
This is the kind of clean energy buildout that works on multiple levels:
New York has now approved 28 large-scale wind and solar projects since 2021. That momentum is real. The next step is making sure storage, transmission, and local support move just as efficiently.
