Nelnet Renewable Energy has announced that they will manage services for five new community solar projects in New York state.
The projects will provide a total of 20 megawatts of local, clean energy to customers in Saratoga, Schenectady, Oneida, Jefferson and surrounding counties.
“Nelnet was built on a mission of service, and we firmly believe in the power of solar as an emerging renewable energy source,” said Jeff Noordhoek, CEO of Nelnet.
The projects will be developed by Green Street Power Partners (GSPP), which finances, develops, owns and operates solar energy systems across the country, and serviced by Nelnet Renewable Energy. GSPP has 21 fully subscribed community solar projects and another 37 actively undergoing subscription across Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota and New York.
New York state is aiming to achieve 100 percent net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
