Bill > S02086

This bill amends several sections of New York state law to increase the statewide energy storage capacity target from three to six gigawatts by the year 2030, aligning with the state's Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA). The changes modify existing provisions in the public service law and environmental conservation law to reflect this updated goal. Specifically, the bill updates language in multiple sections that reference energy storage capacity, changing the target from three to six gigawatts. This adjustment is part of New York's broader clean energy strategy, which includes other ambitious targets such as generating 70% of statewide electricity from renewable sources by 2030, achieving zero emissions in the electrical system by 2040, installing nine gigawatts of offshore wind capacity by 2035, and developing six gigawatts of photovoltaic solar generation by 2025. The bill ensures that state agencies and load-serving entities will be required to support and procure energy storage capacity consistent with this new target, demonstrating the state's commitment to expanding renewable energy infrastructure and storage capabilities.
