CVE North America (CVE) has started construction on its first solar + storage project in New York. The Riverhead Project, situated on a capped landfill in Riverhead, features a 7-MW solar array paired with a 13.6-MWh BESS.
“The Riverhead project is a pivotal step in expanding our energy storage capabilities and demonstrates how strategic solar development can strengthen local energy systems,” said Ben Dereume, technical director at CVE North America. “We’re proud to partner with the Town of Riverhead to transform unproductive land into a source of clean, locally generated, renewable energy for the community.”
While this marks CVE’s first storage project in New York, the company has experience in solar and storage solutions, with 95 MW of installed capacity in community solar projects across Massachusetts and New York and a growing pipeline throughout the United States.
