Flint Mine Solar Project gets green light

Jun 21, 2022 12:30 am

Maura Rosner is reporting for Columbia-Greene Media six years after developers made their initial proposal, the Flint Mine Solar Project has been given the green light. The project is located at the southern end of the town of Coxsackie and the northern section of the town of Athens. Flint Mine will advance New York’s emissions goals, according to Athens Town Supervisor Michael Pirrone. “This will help reduce the community’s reliance on fossil fuels," he said. Hudson Solar and Amber Infrastructure are the current investors in the Flint Mine Solar project. The project will supply 175,000-megawatt hours of renewable energy equivalent to the average annual electricity of 21,000 Greene County homes. The project will include the construction of internal infrastructure including transformers, inverters, voltage cable collection systems, an onsite substation, access roads, a temporary laydown area and security fencing, Pirrone said.
