More than 2 GW of community solar, enough to serve 393,000 homes, have been installed in New York.
This milestone contributes to 5 GW of total distributed solar operating across the state, with 3.3 GW in development. It also marks New York’s progress towards achieving its Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act goal of installing 6 GW of distributed solar by 2025 and 10 GW by 2030.
“New York’s two gigawatt community solar achievement proves our commitment to building a clean and healthy future,” says New York governor Kathy Hochul. “Our ongoing investment in community solar generates measurable benefits for our health, our environment, our economy and for the thousands of New Yorkers who can now enjoy lower electric bills, all thanks to our ability to harness the power of the sun.”
Community solar makes up 61% of total installations across the state this year to date, and its distributed solar pipeline is comprised of more than 8,700 projects. Once complete, these projects are expected to provide 3,297 MW of clean energy, enough to power more than 600,000 homes.

When I was in college in the 1970s, I recall hearing people say, “We’ll have solar energy when the Rockefellers own the sun.”
Nothing’s changed too much in half a century.
It’s hard to imagine how certain politicians can lose in the 2026 midterms, even with “the kiss of death” (Trump’s endorsement).
This guy’s district in Texas is largely the panhandle, far from the more educated and sophisticated parts of the state in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin.
He’s a physician and retired admiral.
If for some horrible reason I lived in a town in that district, perhaps called Buzzardsbreath, TX, I would probably vote for him myself, even with Trump’s endorsement.
Even Trump’s Endorsement Can’t Ruin This Guy’s Chances in His Race for Office
I met a guy yesterday you told me, “We live on this planet at the generosity of the forces of nature. These privileges can be withdrawn at any time, and without notice.”
I thought that was clever.
