WEB Renewable Energy USA LCC (“WEB USA”) is developing a large-scale solar project in Steuben County, New York, called the Addison Solar Project (the Project). The Project is 105 megawatts (MW) AC with the potential to power approximately 27,000 homes across New York State annually.  

WEB USA has identified Steuben County as a suitable site for the Addison Solar Project. The Project is located across the borders of the Towns of Addison, Campbell, and Erwin. This site was selected due to a variety of factors such as available grid capacity, appropriate land use types, adequate space for a large-scale solar project, adequate solar irradiance levels, minimal physical constraints, and minimal potential for environmental impacts.  

The Project will contribute to the local communities by producing tax revenues, employment opportunities, and other economic and social benefits for the area. 

The development of this Project will significantly contribute to the State of New York’s clean energy goals of a 70% renewable energy portfolio by 2030 and a 100% carbon-free electric grid by 2040. The Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) sets ambitious targets for a just transition toward renewable energy, and WEB USA is proud to contribute to this green energy future.
