Energy Acuity, a leading provider of power generation and power delivery market intelligence, has been tracking and monitoring renewable projects and companies in New York since 2008. Below are the Top 10 Renewable Energy Companies in New York by Capacity (MW). This list has been exported from the Renewable Platform, inside of the Energy Acuity Product Suite.

 

What Does “In New York” Mean?

When we say, “in New York“, we’re referring to the amount of Pre-Construction, Under Construction and/or Operating capacity (MW) in New York. Although some of these companies are headquartered in New York and most have offices in the region, this was not an attribute that we considered when analyzing renewable power generation in this area. Essentially, these companies are the ‘most active’ and influential in adding renewable projects to New York’s energy mix.
