Amber Infrastructure, together with its development partner Hudson Energy Enterprises, has completed the sale of its ownership of a 100MW solar project in upstate New York.
Amber and Hudson partnered in 2017 to secure land and undertake permitting of the 100MW Flint Mine solar project in Greene County.
In 2018, the project was awarded a 20-year agreement for Renewable Energy Credits by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority after a competitive procurement directly linked to implementing the objectives of the New York Renewable Energy Standard.
Flint Mine was amongst the first utility scale solar projects to be certified under New York’s comprehensive permitting process in 2021.
When built, Flint Mine Solar will be the largest solar facility in NYISO Zone G, one of the closest designated electrical generating zones to New York City.
As well as contributing to the achievement of New York State’s clean energy and climate goals, the project has permanently conserved the Flint Mine Hill archaeological site and will create a 300-acre grassland wintering raptor habitat.
