This dataset includes information on completed and pipeline (not yet installed) solar electric projects supported by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). Blank cells represent data that were not required or are not currently available. Contractor data is provided for completed projects only, except for Community Distributed Generation projects. Pipeline projects are subject to change. The interactive map at https://data.ny.gov/Energy-Environment/Solar-Electric-Programs-Reported-by-NYSERDA-Beginn/3x8r-34rs provides information on solar photovoltaic (PV) installations supported by NYSERDA throughout New York State since 2000 by county, region, or statewide. Updated monthly, the graphs show the number of projects, expected production, total capacity, and annual trends. The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) offers objective information and analysis, innovative programs, technical expertise, and support to help New Yorkers increase energy efficiency, save money, use renewable energy, and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
