New York governor Andrew M. Cuomo plans to ramp up the third annual solicitation for large-scale renewable energy projects under the state’s Clean Energy Standard.
The solicitation is expected to support approximately 1.5 million MWh of renewable electricity per year, enough to power over 200,000 homes, while also generating over US$1 billion in private investment. That includes over 1,000 new jobs for New Yorkers.
This new solicitation also stands as the latest step toward the state’s proposed commitment to secure 70% of the state’s electricity from renewable resources by 2030.
