S 8229 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Increases the statewide energy storage capacity

This bill updates New York's climate goals by officially setting a target to reach six gigawatts of statewide energy storage capacity by the year 2030. It achieves this by amending existing laws to include this specific storage requirement alongside other renewable energy goals, such as expanding solar and offshore wind power. The changes direct state agencies to establish programs ensuring that electricity providers procure enough energy storage to meet this new mandate. By codifying this target, the legislation clarifies the legal obligations for the state's energy transition plan without altering the underlying authority of the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act.
