Bill > A07858

This bill establishes New York State renewable electric generation pilot programs to authorize the development of up to 300 megawatts of renewable electric capacity statewide, in order to stimulate the growth of clean, affordable, and reliable sources of energy and to foster new partnerships between electric corporations, energy producers, and energy customers in New York State. The Public Service Commission will oversee the implementation of these pilot programs, directing electric corporations to build or cause to be built renewable energy facilities that meet certain requirements, such as using approved renewable energy technologies, connecting to the electric system, and operating in compliance with established standards and requirements. The bill also authorizes electric corporations to own an equity interest in such facilities and allows for partnerships with independent power producers, developers, and customer-owned or leased generators.
