About
Founded in 2026, Rise Light & Power is a private headquartered in Long Island City, United States specializing in Wind, Solar, Energy Storage.
Rise Light & Power is developing the Renewable Ravenswood initiative, a comprehensive clean energy transformation project centered on repurposing the 27-acre Ravenswood Generating Station in Long Island City. The project involves retiring 1960s-vintage fossil fuel generators and replacing them with renewable energy infrastructure, primarily offshore wind turbines in the Atlantic Ocean supplemented by solar and battery storage technologies. The company is also proposing a multi-user offshore wind port at the site to catalyze green energy supply chain development. The initiative prioritizes environmental justice for Western Queens communities historically burdened by air pollution, includes $60 million in community and environmental benefits funding, emphasizes workforce development and union labor preservation, and supports New York State's climate goals of 70% renewable energy by 2030 and 100% zero-emission electricity by 2040.
