DSD Completes Community Solar Portfolio for City of White Plains
DSD Renewables and The City of White Plains have completed the construction of a nine-site, 6.8 megawatt community solar portfolio, the largest municipal solar energy deployment in Westchester County, New York. The portfolio is expected to generate 8,100 megawatt-hours of clean energy annually, tripling the amount of solar energy produced in Westchester County and enough to power more than 700 homes each year. The New York Power Authority was the City’s energy advisor for the project.
White Plains Mayor Roach said, “The City partnered with New York Power Authority and Distributed Solar Development to create a successful 6.8 MW community solar portfolio that will not only benefit residents today, but future generations. Public-private partnerships will drive the proliferation of clean-energy projects through New York State creating a robust renewable energy market. I am grateful to NYPA and DSD for their counsel and collaboration during this project.
The projects incorporated several infrastructure improvements, such as a new roof for the Ebersole Ice Rink and an innovative enclosed solar canopy storage area for the water department, which avoided significant capital spending by the city. The canopies across many sites feature a proprietary integrated water management system that manages water from rain and snow melt.designed the first floating foundation canopy mounted on a landfill cap.
NYPA is the acting energy advisor for the project, providing oversight to ensure it’s well-structured and maximizes energy, environmental and economic benefits for White Plains. NYPA also helped the city with the competitive bid process to select a qualified vendor for the comprehensive city-wide project.
