CLAVERACK, N.Y., July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PureSky Energy (“PureSky”) is proud to announce that its newest community solar farm, Clover Meadow Solar, located near Claverack, NY, is now fully operational and delivering clean, affordable energy exclusively to Low- to Moderate-Income (LMI) households.

This milestone underscores PureSky’s deep commitment to energy equity, bringing the benefits of solar to income-qualified residents who often face the greatest barriers to accessing clean energy savings. Clover Meadow was developed by Eden Renewables (“Eden”), based in Troy NY, and is the seventh such project that PureSky and Eden have worked on together.

“Clover Meadow represents what community solar should be—a tool to make the clean energy transition equitable and inclusive,” said Nicholas Topping, Vice President of Community Solar at PureSky. “By enrolling the solar farm entirely under the ESFA program, we’re able to deliver immediate savings to thousands of income-eligible households while strengthening New York’s energy independence and supporting the state’s clean energy goals.”
“Clover Meadow is another exciting milestone in our ongoing collaboration with PureSky Energy,” said Giovanni Maruca, Chief Development Officer at Eden Renewables. “At Eden, we’re committed to putting communities at the center of our projects That’s why we’re especially excited that this project will deliver clean, affordable energy to low-income households through the ESFA program.”

Households enrolled in the program will see guaranteed savings on their electricity bills—without needing to install rooftop panels or pay any upfront costs.
Beyond household savings, the Clover Meadow Solar project brings broader benefits to the Claverack community by generating new local tax revenue and supporting clean energy jobs. The solar farm is designed to be pollinator-friendly, helping to tackle the global climate crisis, and includes Eden’s industry-leading education program as a community benefit. Projects like this help build more resilient, distributed energy systems while investing directly in local economies.
