Proposals Sought to Install Javits Center Solar Panels

The Javits Center, 655 W. 34th St.

NEW YORK CITY—Developers are invited to submit proposals to the state to install solar energy panels on the rooftop and sidewalks of the Jacob K. Javits Center. The massive complex is located on the far West Side of Manhattan at Eleventh Avenue, between W. 34th and W. 40th streets.

Interested parties can begin their submissions by first registering on the New York Power Authority site directory. The state public power company will administer the requests for proposals on behalf of the Javits Center. A developer will be selected to design, construct and own the solar PV (photovoltaic) system. With a preliminary site assessment, the Javits Center and the NYPA have already identified the locations to install the system to generate up to 1.4 megawatts of energy.
