C2 Energy Capital has completed two community solar projects totaling 5.5 megawatts. Located in the towns of Johnstown and Caledonia, N.Y., the solar power generation systems are owned and operated by C2 Energy Capital. The clean power plants are part of New York’s Community Distributed Generation (CDG) program that allows both residents and commercial businesses in the community to benefit from local solar projects.
Community solar projects are designed to provide solar access to residents and businesses who may not own property or have ideal roof conditions to support solar panels. Residents and businesses who subscribe to the solar projects will have a portion of the system’s production allocated to their electric account, which will provide them with a discount to their monthly electricity costs.
The community solar projects are generating enough solar energy to power approximately 779 households. The clean power plants will offset 5,060 tons of carbon annuall
