New York's Solar Industry Shifts Towards Distributed Solar and Energy Storage
New York's solar industry is shifting its focus towards distributed solar and energy storage, aiming to streamline renewable project approvals. New Yorkers can weigh in on the draft news until Oct. 6, with priority given to those who pre-register for oral comments.
New York currently ranks second in the U.S. for non-residential solar capacity and fifth for residential. By 2030, it aims to install 14.4 GW of solar, according to its 15-year energy plan approved by the State Energy Planning Board. This plan also targets 6 GW of energy storage by 2030, a significant increase from the current 349 MW.
The plan, open for public comment, emphasizes the role of local governments in energy planning and recommends enhancing access to climate and energy data. It projects continued use of major fuels like natural gas and petroleum until 2040, alongside the transition to renewable sources. New York's ambitious renewable news, set for 2030 and 2040, are being driven by the NYSERDA and other state agencies.
New York's energy plan, open for public input until Oct. 6, outlines a significant expansion of solar and energy storage capacity. It underscores the importance of local government involvement and improved data accessibility in achieving the state's ambitious renewable energy targets.
