“We couldn’t be happier renting our land to YSG. It’s been 4 years since they leased our  farm. My husband and I had a great experience with YSG they gave us updates constantly and are very professional, so happy thanks YSG!”

Alan C

– Goshen, NY

“YSG did exactly what they said. The entire process from start to finish was super simple. Our farm had been leased on a year-to-year basis with to a local farmer. The solar farm lease is paying my property taxes and almost triple what our farmer paid us. Highly recommend, a totally wonderful experience thank you all.”

Client Spotlight

 

New York Military Academy

Virtual Power Purchase Agreement

The NY Military Academy (NYMA), was founded in 1889 by an American Civil War veteran. In 2019 the organization explored rooftop solar. Due to the age of the buildings, and condition of the roof it was determined the facility could not accommodate a physical on-site solar facility. The superintendent and YSG designed an optimal solution for the Academy. The organizations entered into a bilateral virtual power purchase agreement. In exchange for an electricity related commodity produced by YSG’s solar facility, NYMA pays a unit price with a fixed discount indexed to the commodity price. YSG’s solutions supported NYMA’s long-term sustainable related ESG goals, while providing predictable electricity cost savings.

Central Hudson Gas & Electric is the local electric distribution company, responsible for the electricity distribution.
