Coeymans Solar Farm Hunt-EAS
Project Location: Coeymans, New York Project Start Date: 19 March 2021 Project Completion: 19 November 2023 Project Team: Daniel Yanosh, Casey Kurz, Ben Wolfling Accreditations and Awards: Utility Scale Renewables
Project Summary: In the Spring of 2021 Hunt-EAS was contacted by Fusion Industries, to perform civil engineering on a 40 MW Solar farm to be located in Coeymans. This project would go on to be one of the largest renewable energy projects in the state to date, encompassing an area of 241.5 +/- acres and presenting a variety of environmental and civil challenges. In order to build this enormous renewable energy collector, Hunt-EAS needed to ensure that the project would conserve the soil it is located on, prevent impacts to the existing watersheds, and avoid distur- bance of natural and cultural resources. Impact: Coeymans Solar Farm will provide new renewable energy to New Yorkers while protecting and preserving clean air, water quality, and soil resources. This 40-megawatt photovoltaic (PV) solar facility is capable of safely supplying 73,000 megawatt-hours of electricity per year to power over 10,000 average households. It delivers significant revenue to local governments and boosts local economies–creating over 140 construction jobs.
