PARKER -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Energy and Telecommuni- cations 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.

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, to reduce 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 twenty-three percent decrease in energy consumption from buildings, fifty percent renewable energy supply, and forty 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 efficiency, 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 over- all capacity charges and helps avoid the need for costly utility infras- tructure upgrades. In other words, New York's current underinvestment in energy efficiency results in higher utility bills for New Yorkers than is necessary.
