Energy supply solutions provider Catalyst Power Holdings has announced a partnership with the Gates Historical Society for the construction of a 1.4-MW community solar farm in Rochester, New York.
According to Catalyst, the community solar farm will provide clean energy to local residents and businesses at an affordable rate while also promoting local jobs and economic development.
The facility will occupy approximately 13 acres on Howard Road in Rochester, the company adds.
"We are proud to partner with the Gates Historical Society to help make the benefits of solar accessible to Rochester residents and businesses," said Gabe Phillips, CEO of Catalyst Power. "Community solar makes it easy for residents and businesses to save money with clean energy."
"Our partnership with Catalyst Power provides us with increased revenue and allows us to support the local community by hosting clean solar energy," said Garth Brokaw, President, of the Gates Historical Society."
Aside from community solar, New York-based Catalyst offers a range of cleaner energy solutions to its commercial and industrial customers. These solutions include a network of Connected Microgrids, a customized solution that employs onsite solar panels and back-up generators at no upfront cost, as well as retail power and gas supply.
Based in Rochester, the Gates Historical Society is a not-for-profit organization with the intention to collect and preserve the history of the town of Gates, and to showcase the Hinchey Homestead as a model historic site. William Hinchey was a town pioneer who settled in the region around the early 19th century.
