Large-Scale Renewable Energy Projects in New York State Since 2004

NYSERDA reports on large-scale renewable energy projects in New York State, tracking projects that are completed, operational, cancelled, or under development. The dataset covers projects awarded through specific solicitations beginning in 2004, with information updated as projects reach commercial operation. It provides a record of project status and program participation over two decades.

Use Cases

• Analyze project status trends (e.g., operational vs. cancelled) over time to assess program success rates.
• Map the geographic distribution of projects awarded under specific solicitations like ORECRFP18-1 or RESRFP24-1.
• Track the progression of projects from 'under development' to 'operational' status for portfolio management.
• Study the relationship between project solicitation programs (e.g., Tier 2, Tier 4, Offshore Wind) and final outcomes.

Strengths

• Covers a long temporal range of project data beginning in 2004.
• Includes multiple project statuses: completed, operational, cancelled, and under development.
• Documents projects from over 15 distinct NYSERDA solicitation programs.

Limitations

• Does not represent all renewable projects in New York State, excluding those from Long Island Power Authority.
• Project listings under development are subject to change, introducing potential data volatility.
• Specific scale metrics like total megawatt capacity or number of rows are not provided in the input.
