# High River Energy Center, LLC NYISO solar_power_plant · https://askthegrid.com/nyiso/assets/plant/high-river-energy-center-llc High River Energy Center is a 90 MW utility-scale solar photovoltaic facility in the Town of Florida, Montgomery County, New York, in NYISO Zone F. High River Energy Center, LLC, formed in August 2017, is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources, LLC. The project consists of commercial-scale solar arrays using Jinko 415 W and Safe Harbor 370 W photovoltaic modules (322,010 total modules), 12,385 strings of DC-coupled arrays with both fixed-tilt and single-axis tracking systems, and 28 Power Electronics FS3350MVA inverters rated 3.465 MW each. The facility generates electricity at 34.5 kV internally, steps voltage to 115 kV at an on-site collection substation, and interconnects through a Point of Interconnection switchyard to National Grid's existing Stoner-Rotterdam #12 115 kV transmission line via a 500-foot 115 kV transmission line. ## Key facts - Technology: Solar Photovoltaic - Power capacity: 90 MW ## Grid and market context - ISO/RTO: NYISO - Balancing authority: NYISO ## Source-backed facts - Site.location.town: Town of Florida — documents.dps.ny.gov · confidence: review_required - Site.location.county: Montgomery County — documents.dps.ny.gov · confidence: review_required - Site.location.state: New York — documents.dps.ny.gov · confidence: review_required - Technical.power rating: 90 MW — documents.dps.ny.gov · confidence: review_required - Technical.fuel type: solar — documents.dps.ny.gov · confidence: review_required - Technical.technology: Solar Photovoltaic — highriverenergycenter.com · confidence: review_required - Site.area acres: 1221 acres — documents.dps.ny.gov · confidence: review_required - Site.fenced area acres: 465 acres — highriverenergycenter.com · confidence: review_required - Technical.modules.total count: 322010 modules — highriverenergycenter.com · confidence: review_required - Technical.modules.jinko count: 291928 modules — highriverenergycenter.com · confidence: review_required - Technical.modules.safe harbor count: 30082 modules — highriverenergycenter.com · confidence: review_required - Technical.inverters.count: 28 inverters — highriverenergycenter.com · confidence: review_required - Technical.dc system voltage: 1500 V — highriverenergycenter.com · confidence: review_required - Technical.interconnection voltage: 115 kV — documents.dps.ny.gov · confidence: review_required - Market.balancing authority: NYISO — documents.dps.ny.gov · confidence: review_required - Market.market zone: Zone F — documents.dps.ny.gov · confidence: review_required - Environmental.co2 reduction annual: 49754 tons/year — documents.dps.ny.gov · confidence: review_required - Environmental.so2 reduction annual: 11 tons/year — documents.dps.ny.gov · confidence: review_required - Environmental.nox reduction annual: 15 tons/year — documents.dps.ny.gov · confidence: review_required - Financing.portfolio debt limit: 800000000 USD — documents.dps.ny.gov · confidence: review_required ## Timeline - 2017-08-25 — High River Energy Center, LLC formation High River Energy Center, LLC was formed as a Delaware limited liability company to develop, own, operate, and maintain the solar project.
