Bill > A05633

This bill, known as the "Renewable Capitol Act," requires the Office of General Services, in consultation with the Power Authority of the State of New York, to ensure that all operations that power, heat, or cool the Empire State Plaza complex in Albany, New York, use entirely renewable energy systems within three years. The bill also establishes an advisory committee to advise the Office on the preparation, design, and content of a plan for the use of renewable energy systems at the complex. The plan must address a timeline for the project, measures to maximize benefits to the local community, considerations for renewable heat exchange systems, and prioritization of electricity procurement from renewable sources within the region. The bill also amends the Public Authorities Law and the Public Buildings Law to align with the requirements of the Renewable Capitol Act.
