  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Legislative intent and  findings.  The  legislature  hereby
acknowledges  the  uncertainty  of future operations of the Indian Point
Energy  Center  in  Buchanan,  Westchester  County,  pending  unresolved
issues,  including  New  York  state's  issuance  of  a  state pollutant
discharge elimination system permit pursuant to article 8 of  the  envi-
ronmental  conservation  law and a water quality certificate pursuant to
section four hundred one of the federal Clean Water Act  and  a  reactor
license renewal by the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Due to the
uncertainty over the continued operation of Indian Point Energy Center's
reactors  (IPEC  2  and  IPEC  3) beyond 2013 and 2015 respectively, the
legislature declares the need for a comprehensive plan in the event  the
facility  is  retired.  The  legislature further declares that the state
energy planning board, ("the board") established pursuant to  article  6
of  the  environmental  conservation  law should be responsible for such
study.
  S 2. 1. In addition to the  study  required  under  subdivision  1  of
section  6-108  of  the energy law, the board shall undertake a separate
study to evaluate the potential impact of the closure  and  discontinua-
tion  of operations by IPEC 2 and IPEC 3. Such study shall include, at a
minimum, an assessment of each of the following: (a) an  examination  of
strategies  to  replace energy otherwise produced by Indian Point Energy
Center. The assessment shall examine: (i) additional installed  electric
generating  capacity;  (ii)  distributed electric generation, especially
