BILL NUMBER:S3640 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the executive law, in relation to the bulk electricity purchasing program PURPOSE: The bulk purchasing would create additional opportunities for overall energy cost-savings. OGS currently uses bulk purchasing of gaso- line and heating fuel to provide cost savings for the State. localities and schools. This bill would allow for the bulk purchasing of electric- ity. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Adds a new section 204 to the Executive Law to create the Bulk Electricity Purchasing Program to be administered by the Commissioner of the Office of General Services (OGS) working in cooper- ation with governmental and non-governmental organizations. The bulk fuel purchasing program will be available on a voluntary basis to State agencies, municipalities and school districts. JUSTIFICATION: According to a survey by the New York State Association of School Business Officials and the New York State Association for Superintendents of School Buildings and Grounds, if energy prices remain at their current levels, many school districts in New York expect to see shortfalls in their budgets. Giving, OGS the authority to bulk purchase electricity would create additional opportunities for overall energy cost-savings for school districts as well as State and its agencies, and localities.
