NYSERDA Solar Electric Projects in New York State, Beginning 2000

Monthly updated information on completed and pipeline solar photovoltaic projects supported by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority since 2000. The data includes project counts, expected production, total capacity, and annual trends, viewable by county, region, or statewide via an interactive map. NYSERDA provides this data to support renewable energy adoption and reduce fossil fuel reliance in New York.

Use Cases

• Forecasting regional solar capacity growth based on reported project pipeline data.
• Analyzing trends in solar project completion and production since 2000.
• Mapping the geographic distribution of NYSERDA-supported solar installations.
• Comparing project metrics like expected production and total capacity across counties.

Strengths

• Data is updated monthly, providing relatively current project information.
• Includes both completed projects and a reported pipeline of planned installations.
• Covers a long temporal range, with projects reported beginning in the year 2000.
• Supported by an interactive map for spatial visualization of the data.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Blank cells represent data that were not required or are not currently available.
• Pipeline projects are noted as being subject to change.
