CARLUCCI -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Rules AN ACT to amend the public service law, in relation to the state's elec- tric system energy efficiency framework THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "New York electric efficiency jobs act". § 2. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature hereby finds and determines: 1. New York has long held a leadership role among the states in achieving efficiency savings in its electricity sector. Yet its current electric energy efficiency achievements are inadequate to generate the amount of savings necessary to achieve the State's clean energy and climate goals in as cost-effective a manner as possible, reducing the cost of energy for the state's energy customers. New York's most recent State Energy Plan calls for the achievement of several goals by 2030, including a 23 percent decrease in energy consumption from buildings, 50 percent renewable energy supply, and 40 percent reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 levels. If New York does not significantly increase the amount of savings it achieves through electric energy effi- ciency, reaching these goals will be significantly more difficult, if not impossible. As the Public Service Commission has recognized, energy efficiency "is the cheapest and most effective manner to reduce carbon emissions in the energy sector." It also reduces overall capacity charg- es and helps avoid the need for costly utility infrastructure upgrades. In other words, New York's current underinvestment in energy efficiency results in higher utility bills for New Yorkers than is necessary. Public utilities and other market participants have not been given the market signals necessary to aggressively reduce energy usage.
