Brooklyn Army Terminal to open first co-op owned solar garden in New York
Sunset Park is taking it from the top, in terms of solar power.
On Thurs., Nov. 8, the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) announced that UPROSE, an environmental advocacy group based in the Sunset Park, in conjunction with Solar One, 770 Electric Corp. and Co-op Power, has been chosen to develop and operate a community solar garden at the Brooklyn Army Terminal (BAT).
According to BAT, the rooftop solar array will be the first cooperatively-owned project of its kind in New York State, and will connect hundreds of New Yorkers and industrial businesses to sustainable energy through an affordable subscription-based service.
