Flint Mine Solar

In development from 2017, the Flint Mine Solar project was a pioneering project due to its proximity to New York City and the changes implemented to the State level permitting regime in New York State. Amber acquired ~1,600 acres of land in the lower Hudson Valley, designed, developed and permitted the Flint Mine array. The project was the 1st Utility scale array to be deemed compliant by the New York permitting agency under the newly amended Article X requirements.

Amber invested in the Project in order to demonstrate the viability of New York State’s newly adopted permitting rules and to respond to the increased Renewable Energy targets issued at a state level.

• Enhanced Renewable Energy Standard creating demand for renewable energy 
• Supportive permitting regime and strong local knowledge of citing and environmental considerations
