About the Project
THE TEAM
The Bull Run Solar Project is being developed by Invenergy’s growing thirty-person New York development team located across New York State in Ithaca, and New York City. The team is supported by engineers, construction managers, and other professionals at Invenergy’s headquarters in Chicago, Illinois.
THE PROJECT
Bull Run Solar is an opportunity to boost the local economy of Clinton County and create jobs, all while generating clean, domestic energy.
Invenergy is developing the project on private land it is leasing in the towns of Clinton, Ellenburg, and Mooers. This is a stand-alone project separate from the Bull Run Wind facility Invenergy is also developing in the same area. The project's benefits to the environment and the local community make it a fantastic opportunity for the host communities in Clinton County.

the school debt down...so it gives tax reliefs to all of the tax payers
in these school districts that the wind turbine project is in.”
