Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), six states and the District of Columbia have goals to obtain 100% of their power from clean energy sources by 2050. The states differ in what they term "clean energy." In some cases, this is defined as energy from only renewable sources, while in other cases, this can be defined as "carbon-free" or "carbon neutral," which can include nuclear power or systems with carbon capture systems in place.
Among the most recent states to set 100% clean energy goals are Maine, which in June set the goal of 100% renewable generation by 2050, and New York, which in June set the goal of 100% clean energy by 2040, with an interim target of 70% renewable generation by 2030. With these moves, New York and Maine join California, Hawaii, Nevada, New Mexico and D.C. in requiring 100% clean energy by 2050. Industrial Info is tracking more than $8.8 billion in medium- and high-probability (70%-99%) renewable energy projects in Maine and New York. Solar power leads in terms of overall project value and count, with more than $4.3 billion active projects.

Maine
While solar power projects outnumber other renewable fuel types in Maine, a windfarm is the largest planned project. Construction on Global Infrastructure Partners' (New York, New York) County Line windfarm in Penobscot and Aroostook counties is set to begin in early 2021. The facility will use 150 4.2-MW wind turbines to generate 630 MW. Construction on the $1 billion project is expected to be completed by the end of 2022. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Among the other wind projects in the state is the smaller, 15.2-MW Roxwind Windfarm in Roxbury. The project is set to begin construction later this year and will use four General Electric (NYSE:GE) 3.8-MW wind turbines. Stantec Incorporated (NYSE:STN) (Edmonton, Alberta) is the consultant on the project, which has an estimated total investment value (TIV) of $30 million and is expected to be completed next summer. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
NextEra Energy Incorporated (NYSE:NEE) (Juno Beach, Florida) is underway with a few solar projects in Maine. Among these is the 100-MW Loring photovoltaic solar plant at the former Loring Air Force base in Limestone, Maine, in the northeast of the state, near the Canadian border. According to a Maine Public news story, the project location, also in Aroostook County, is in a part of the state that is electrically isolated and needs power. The project has an estimated TIV of $200 million. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
NextEra also is developing a couple of smaller, 20-MW solar facilities in the central region of Maine that are set to begin construction this year and next. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on the Fairfield solar farm and the Winslow solar farm.
New York
Like Maine, solar projects in New York lead in terms of project count and value, but its largest projects are windfarms. Among these is Invenergy LLC's (Chicago, Illinois) Alle-Catt Windfarm in Cattaraugus County, in the west of the state. The 380-MW facility will use 108 3.5-MW wind turbines. Construction on the $600 million project is expected to begin in the first half of next year and be completed in third-quarter 2022. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
On the books to begin construction soon is RWE AG's (Essen, Germany) 242-MW Baron Winds windfarm near Hornell, New York. The windfarm will use 58 Nordex 3.6-MW turbines and 11 Gamesa 2.6-MW turbines. Stantec is the consultant on this project. The project has an estimated TIV of $304 million and is expected to wrap up in late 2020. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
EDF Renewable Energy (San Diego, California) is planning several solar projects in New York, including the 125-MW Bunker solar farm near Brainardsville in the north of the state. Construction on the $200 million project is set to begin in 2022 and be completed in late 2023. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
While solar and wind greatly outnumber hydropower projects in both states, a major modernization project is underway at the Lewiston pumped-storage hydropower facility in Lewiston, New York. The project entails refurbishing six turbine-generators by performing generator rewinds and upgrading components to improve efficiency and extend service life. The units have a combined generating capacity of 240 MW. Construction on the $230 million project began in 2015 and is expected to be completed late next year. Voith Hydro Incorporated (York, Pennsylvania) and ANDRITZ Hydro Corporation (Charlotte, North Carolina) are providing engineering and construction services. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
