Advances in renewable energy discussed

Posted

Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corp., along with representatives from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), Mitsubishi and the City University of New York (CUNY) came together in a virtual forum to discuss the direction of the renewable energy industry with nearly 100 attendees at the 11th annual Solar+ Summit on Thursday, March 4.

“The Mid-Hudson Valley is one of the most active regions in New York State for solar power installations on a per capita basis,” said Ryan Hawthorne, Vice President of Electric Engineering and Operations at Central Hudson. “When the summit began eleven years ago, there were 195 solar systems within our service area with a capacity of 1.4 megawatts (MW). Today, we have over 10,000 solar and storage installations with a capacity of 162 MW with the potential to triple that capacity in the coming years.”

The annual Solar+ Summit provides an opportunity for all stakeholders to discuss the direction of the industry and how to shape it in a manner that provides the best outcome for customers and the environment.
