The Excelsior Energy Center is a proposed 280 MW solar generation project located in Genesee County, New York. Developed by Excelsior Energy Center, LLC, the project is interconnected to the NYISO grid at the Dysinger - N. Rochester 345kV point of interconnection. It entered the NYISO interconnection queue as queue ID NYISO-721 on June 7, 2018, and has a proposed commercial operation date of November 1, 2026. The project's interconnection status is currently in the System Impact Study phase.
The proposed project is linked to the existing Excelsior Energy Center operating plant (EIA plant ID 68507). The Excelsior Energy Center has been the subject of recent news coverage, with four articles related to regulatory, development, and industry topics.
