BILL NUMBER: S5549 TITLE OF BILL : An act in relation to maintaining the continued viability of the state's existing large-scale, renewable energy resources PURPOSE OR IDEA OF GENERAL BILL : New York State has been a leader in renewable energy, beginning with the hydroelectric power plant at Niagara Falls in 1895. The Clean Energy Standard mandates that by 2030, 50% of electricity consumed in the state will come from renewables and establishes programs to develop new capacity. However, economic factors threaten NY's existing large-scale renewable generators, in many cases the most cost-effective sources of clean power. This bill establishes utility support for these facilities to protect critical infrastructure and ensure that the 50 by 30 goal is achieved as economically as possible. New York recognizes the social cost of GHG emissions and the value of clean power sources. This is reflected in the compensation provided to nuclear generators through the Zero Emission Credit program. Legacy large-scale renewables (LSRs), however, are compensated at the same rates as natural gas or coal generators despite their carbon benefits. Low fuel prices have brought these rates below the long-term viability threshold of many legacy renewable resources.

S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 5549 2017-2018 Regular Sessions I N S E N A T E April 10, 2017 ___________ Introduced by Sen. GRIFFO -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Energy and Telecommuni- cations AN ACT in relation to maintaining the continued viability of the state's existing large-scale, renewable energy resources THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature hereby finds and determines: 1. New York is a national leader in developing and implementing policy to promote the development of renewable energy resources, the growth of which has significantly benefited the state in numerous ways, including through reductions in pollutants that contribute to climate change, associated reductions in adverse impacts on public health, and substan- tial job growth in the clean energy sector. 2. In 2016, more than twenty percent of the state's electric load (representing 2,354 gigawatt hours) was supplied by renewable resources - solar, wind, hydroelectric, biomass, fuel cells and similar resources. To further promote and incentivize the development of renewable energy, the New York state public service commission recently established a clean energy standard requiring, among other things, that fifty percent of the electric load in the state be served entirely by renewable resources by the year 2030 (i.e., 50 by 30 target). 3. A recent study shows that New York's clean energy sector now employs more than 85,000 workers at more than 7,500 business establish- ments spread out across the state, in both the renewable energy and energy efficiency sectors. With implementation of the clean energy stan- dard, clean energy jobs are anticipated to grow by more than six percent per year or double the growth rate of the entire United States economy in 2016. Proper implementation of the clean energy standard will ensure that the state meets these job growth projections. EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
