AI Summary
This bill prohibits the development of any new major electric generating facilities that would be powered in whole or in part by any fossil fuel, unless the developer can demonstrate a need for the facility and that there is no other reasonable method to satisfy that need. The bill defines "fossil fuel" to include coal, petroleum products, and fuel gases. It also requires certain attestations and demonstrations from the developer before the Public Service Board can issue a certificate for such a facility. Additionally, the Department of Environmental Conservation cannot issue permits for these fossil fuel-powered facilities unless the developer has satisfied the bill's requirements. Overall, this legislation aims to limit the construction of new fossil fuel-powered electricity generation in New York State.
