Brookfield Renewable Expands Footprint

Written by Staff Report on . Posted in Business, Featured, Local Leads, News.

On Tuesday, Sept. 13, Brookfield hosted a ribbon cutting at 407 Big Bay Road. Joining their leadership and operators were representatives of the Warren-Washington IDA, Warren County Economic Development Corporation, the Adirondack Chamber of Commerce, as well as state and local officials.

QUEENSBURY — Building upon their investment in New York State, Brookfield Renewable has expanded their footprint in Warren County by relocating their national control center to Queensbury from Marlborough, Massachusetts.

In addition to more than doubling the size of its workforce, Brookfield has made a multimillion-dollar investment in a new facility adjacent to the current office. Brookfield, which employs a staff of 35 people at an office at 399 Big Bay Road, has built a new office to house 50 new jobs in operations, project management, information technology and regulatory compliance

Operators will monitor 140 hydroelectric dams situated across the United States, as well as wind, solar and battery storage sites. Activity at the control center requires staffing 24 hours a day and seven days a week to ensure that power generation remains consistent.

“Expanding our operations here in Queensbury was certainly the best decision for Brookfield. Having the control center in the same location as staff working at our original office on Big Bay Road will enable us to integrate the national system control center employees into a regional office with other personnel and duties,” said National System Control Center Senior Director Tony Zarrella.

Zarrella also noted that the new location will foster a synergy with his operators and field operations, will enhance recruitment and advancement opportunities, and promote a better work-life balance within the workforce. 

Zarrella continued, “This community provides quality of life benefits that are second to none.”

To assist with the relocation, the Warren-Washington Industrial Development Agency approved a $513,000 incentive package including $210,000 in sales tax exemptions and a $303,000 property tax savings over 10 years.

Job listings will be posted on Indeed.com, said Stakeholder Relations Manager Mark Luciano. Anyone interested in learning more about the positions or the company can visit brookfieldrenewableus.com.
