About the Team
The Verona Solar Farm is being developed by Invenergy’s growing thirty-person New York development team located across New York State in Ithaca, Orchard Park, and New York City. The team is supported by engineers, construction managers, and other professionals at Invenergy’s headquarters in Chicago, Illinois. The Verona Solar Farm requires a team effort involving the following dedicated team members: Kaelyn Roche (Lead Developer) and Katy Warner (Administrative Assistant).
About the Project
The Verona Solar Farm is an opportunity to boost the local economy of Oneida County and create jobs, all while generating clean, American made energy right here in New York.
250
megawatts
77,000
homes powered annually
Cash Crop
Solar energy is the new cash crop for farmers, ranchers and county governments. Lease payments provide a steady stream of income and create new tax revenues. Verona Solar will invest more than $2.3 million directly in the Oneida County economy through landowner payments and taxes every year.
Jobs
At peak construction, the Verona Solar Farm is expected to employ as many as 400 people. After construction, the project will employ 2-5 additional permanent operations and maintenance (O&M) staff.
Local Economic Impact
More than $3 million annually in landowner payments, tax payments, and local spending and salaries. Over the life of the project over $110 million will be invested in the community.
