After securing $950 million in funding, New York is getting its largest solar farm — and it’s set to come online next year
A clean energy investment company secured $950 million to build New York’s largest solar farm, which will sit on 2,500 acres east of Buffalo.
Construction has already begun on the massive project, and when completed and online in 2026, it’s expected to generate enough energy to power around 120,000 households in the state every year.
It’s part of a larger statewide goal of sourcing at least 70% of all its energy from renewable sources by 2030. This project is one of 23 larger clean energy projects approved by the state. Currently, it has enough solar capacity to power more than 1 million homes in the state.
Why is this good news? This is another massive step the state is taking to not only reach its clean energy goals — but to do its part to move the country toward an emissions-free future, which will ultimately help limit global warming, save lives, and result in cleaner air and healthier communities.

Solar and wind capacity are being installed five times faster than all other new electricity sources combined
The “fastest energy change in history,” new solar power generation capacity around the world was installed 100 times faster than nuclear capacity — new wind, 25 times faster.
That’s from a new report from the International Solar Energy Society, which also detailed how electricity generation from coal and gas has not only been stagnant since 2001, it likely peaked in 2023.
If current growth rates continue, it predicts that by 2032, there will be more global solar and wind generation than coal and gas — combined.
It found that “almost all growth in electricity demand is being met by solar and wind” — and the two are being installed five times faster than all other new electricity sources combined.
