Larry Rulison is reporting in the Times Union a plan is underway to build an 8 megawatt solar farm in Selkirk, the largest to be built so far in the Capital Region. Plans for the solar farm have been submitted to Bethlehem town officials for approval. Florida-based NextEra Energy, a solar energy developer, proposed the project. The largest solar farms locally are approximately 2.5 megawatts. Much larger projects are in the pipeline, including a 98 megawatt solar farm planned for Montgomery County. The Selkirk solar farm would be located on 43 acres on Bridge Street, on land owned by the Frick family. Read the full story in the Times Union.
