Bill Summary
AN ACT to repeal section 1020-dd of the public authorities law, relating to the prohibition of acceptance by the Long Island power authority of preference hydroelectricity
AI Summary
This bill repeals Section 1020-dd of the New York Public Authorities Law, which previously prohibited the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) from accepting preference hydroelectricity. Preference hydroelectricity typically refers to low-cost electricity generated from hydroelectric sources, often made available to public power entities at favorable rates. By removing this legal restriction, the bill allows LIPA more flexibility in potentially acquiring and utilizing hydroelectric power. The bill is straightforward, consisting of two sections: the first section eliminates the existing legal provision that banned LIPA from accepting preference hydroelectricity, and the second section specifies that the act will take effect immediately upon passage. The legislation appears to be aimed at removing a specific regulatory barrier that previously limited LIPA's energy procurement options.
