Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Public gets clearer renewable energy updates

Effective immediately, the New York Power Authority must deliver and publish renewable energy plan reports at least three board meetings yearly. Reports may state that there is no update. The authority must also keep a public website dashboard showing progress on the plan. Draft plans still require at least 60 days for public comment and at least three hearings across different state regions. When choosing in-person hearing locations, the authority must consider public transit access.

Power authority joins state energy planning

Effective immediately, the New York Power Authority's chief executive joins the State Energy Planning Board. Authority staff also join state agency staff in supporting the board. The board directs their work. These changes add the authority's leadership and staff support to state energy planning, not direct household payments.
