PSC Authorizes Increased Annual Large-Scale Renewable Energy Procurement Targets
Excerpts from Press Release:
“The New York State Public Service Commission (Commission) today adopted the Clean Energy Standard (CES) Biennial Review filed by Department of Public Service staff and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and approved key proposals to advance the state’s clean energy targets. The Biennial Review summarizes the progress made toward meeting the state’s renewable energy and zero emission targets and assesses the policy options and proposals to achieve such targets. The proposals approved today are intended to modify various aspects of the CES to reflect current market conditions and to maintain progress on building new, clean energy generation in a way that preserves reliability and meets the state’s energy affordability objectives.
“The recommendations approved today reflect a need to modify our current procurement practices to adapt to current market conditions and electric load growth, while balancing the attainment of the Commission’s affordability and other legislative mandates,” said Commission Chair Rory M. Christian. “The Commission today reaffirmed its commitment to achieving the state’s renewable energy targets in an affordable and cost-effective manner.”
