Reliable and Sustainable Energy

Cricket Valley Energy Center (CVEC) is committed to providing sustainable, reliable electricity as one of the most efficient electricity producers in New York State. CVEC is a combined-cycle natural gas turbine (CCGT) facility and provides electricity with just one-third of the emissions compared to traditional coal plants. As new technologies and best practices become available, the CVEC team will work to consistently improve the sustainability and reliability of operations along with the health of its local environment.
