Located in Schenectady County, New York, the SCH - (2A) 156 Barhydt Rd Glenville power plant (Plant ID: 66764) is a hybrid facility combining solar photovoltaic generation with battery energy storage. The plant, owned and operated by Distributed Solar Development, LLC, commenced operations in 2021. It has a total capacity of 7.5 MW, distributed across two generators, and utilizes "MWH" as its primary fuel type, which is unusual and may require further investigation. The facility also incorporates a 10 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) with a duration of 4 hours, employing lithium-ion battery chemistry (LIB). The solar array uses a fixed tilt tracking system.
The plant operates within the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) balancing authority and the Northeast Power Coordinating Council (NPCC) NERC region. In its latest year of operation, the plant generated 6,444 MWh, resulting in a capacity factor of 9.8%. Financial data is available for this plant, sourced from LBNL Solar. The plant is ranked 38th out of 65 similar facilities in New York state and 900th out of 1205 nationally.
