 sPower CEO, Ryan Creamer, said: “We are honored to be long-term neighbors with Long Island communities. Bringing solar power to this state sets an example of civic responsibility to the rest of the country. Working hard with PSEG Long Island and numerous other teams was critical in making this vision a reality. I am proud of this milestone we’ve achieved and the teamwork that was demonstrated throughout the entire process.”

Paul Napoli, vice president of power markets, PSEG Long Island, added: “PSEG Long Island is a proud supporter of a clean renewable energy future on Long Island.
