The governor of New York State, Andrew Cuomo, recently directed the state’s Public Service Commission to draft a new Clean Energy Standard, one that will see the state receive at least 50% of is electricity in 2030 from renewable energy sources.
The Public Service Commission (PSC) was directed via letter by Cuomo to immediately begin drawing up the new standard — one which is expected to be cost effective and “efficient.”
The decision should come as no real surprise to anyone, as a similar plan (in the State Energy Plan) was implied by the state’s “50 by 30 goal” — which also calls for a 40% reduction in emissions by 2030.
