125 MW Project to Bring Clean Energy to More Than 25,000 Homes and Support More than 200 Local Construction Jobs. Governor Kathy Hochul today announced that the New York State Office of Renewable Energy Siting and Electric Transmission (ORES) has issued a final siting permit for the Somerset solar array. The project, located in the Town of Somerset, Niagara County, will generate 125-megawatts of clean, renewable energy. Once operational, the facility will reduce carbon emissions by more than 177,000 tons annually-the equivalent of taking more than 35,000 cars off the road-and will produce enough electricity to power more than 25,000 average-sized houses.
