About Cider Solar Farm

• The Facility will be built upon 60 parcels of private land north of the Villages of Elba and Oakfield near the intersection of Lockport Road and Route 98.
• The Facility includes low profile, ground-mounted PV panels on galvanized steel tracker racking structures. The panels will be approximately 11 feet high above grade at the tallest point at their maximum tilt height.
• The total project footprint (limit of disturbance) covers approximately 2,200 acres. This includes all temporary and permanent disturbance from access roads, buried collection lines, the project substation, fencing, and panel foundations.
• The fenced in area around panels includes approximately 2,000 acres. These areas will have security gating and accessed by private gravel access roads connecting to public roadways.
• The exterior buffer of fenced in panel areas will also have extensive tree and shrub plantings.

Agrivoltaics

• The Project will incorporate agrivoltaics approaches, incorporating agriculture AND energy production. An agrivoltaics integration plan is currently in development.
• Of the project land, an initial area of approximately 300 acres will be set aside for dual-use agricultural purposes including sheep grazing.
