THE TEAM
The Horseshoe 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 Horseshoe Solar project requires a team effort and is led by project developer Todd Knobbe.
THE PROJECT
Horseshoe Solar is an opportunity to boost the local economy of
Livingston and Monroe Counties and create jobs, all while generating
clean, American-made energy to meet New York's growing electricity
demand.
Invenergy is developing the project on private land it is leasing in the towns of Caledonia and Rush, and hopes to involve solar grazing as part of the project development and operation. The synthesis of solar energy production and herd grazing is just one of the many ways we at Invenergy are innovating in our field.

“[Locals] want the job because they’ve lived there all their
lives...[It] gave me the opportunity to stay here and make a good
living.”

Local Economic Impact
An estimated $3 million will be invested into the local community every year through landowner payments and local tax revenue.
“The Invenergy project is helping the tax payers by helping to pay
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.”

Breckenridge Township Board Member
