Legislative intent. The legislature finds and declares all of the following: (a) It is the policy of the state of New York to encourage the rapid and sustainable development of electricity from renewable sources, particularly from smaller, widely distributed solar photovoltaic instal- lations, by the adoption of a solar feed-in tariff pilot program created pursuant to this act. Such pilot program will be instituted by the Long Island Power Authority within the service area of the authority. (b) This act will create green jobs for the state. The German solar energy industry created over 50,000 jobs in less than five years, with the entire renewable energy industry creating as many as 200,000 jobs. Spain boasts 25,000 solar energy workers. Gainesville, Florida, where a solar feed-in tariff program is currently being tested, is experiencing a surge of capital investment in community solar systems and local contractors are hiring. (c) The pilot program created pursuant to this act will moderate the near-term impact on ratepayers, while reducing volatility and long-term rates relative to other sources of power. (d) The pilot program created pursuant to this act will encourage energy conservation by requiring a separate new meter to measure the EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
