BILL NUMBER: S5180 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the authority to contract for energy PURPOSE : The purpose of this bill is to prevent discrimination against ratepayers and electric generating facilities located in New York State. The discrimination would arise as a result of the City of New York contracting to acquire energy, or environmental attributes associated with energy, that is generated by electric generating facilities located outside of the country and is delivered over transmission lines that do not provide access to electric generating facilities in New York State to transmit their energy within New York State. Those contracts would provide revenue from the City's taxpayers for the construction of new transmission facilities connecting electric generation facilities located outside of the United States with the City of New York without allowing generators located in New York State to connect into the new transmission facilities. This bill requires that any new transmission lines constructed in New York State to supply the City of New York with electricity generated by electric generating facilities located outside of the country, must also provide access to electric generating facilities in New York State.
