About

Horseshoe Solar is a proposed 180 MW solar generation project located in Livingston County, New York. The project, developed by Horseshoe Solar Energy LLC, is currently active in the NYISO interconnection queue as queue ID NYISO-710, with an entry date of May 29, 2018. The proposed commercial operation date is December 1, 2025, and the project's interconnection status is currently in the Facility Study phase. The point of interconnection is the Golah 115kV substation.

The proposed project is linked to the existing Horseshoe Solar Energy operating plant (EIA ID 63096). Horseshoe Solar has been the subject of recent news coverage.
