Evergreen |
The Evergreen community solar farm is located on the rooftop of Lieber’s Kosher Foods in Brooklyn, N.Y., and it has been providing savings to local subscribers in the Con Ed utility region since late 2022. In just one year of supporting community solar, this farm's subscribers are preventing 188 Metric Tons of CO2 emissions-- equivalent to the amount of carbon it would take 3,105 tree seedlings 10 years to sequester.
Subscribers are also benefitting from 10% savings on the solar energy generated by their share through clean energy credits. Since New Yorkers benefit from consolidated billing as a part of state policy, their community solar savings appear directly on their Con Ed monthly electricity bill. This community solar farm provides approximately 40 homes with access to clean energy savings while displacing 214 kilowatts of dirty electricity per year from the grid.
