S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 7027 2021-2022 Regular Sessions I N S E N A T E May 25, 2021 ___________ Introduced by Sen. PARKER -- 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. To further promote and incentivize the development of renewable energy, New York state recently adopted the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA), which, among other things, mandates that by 2030, 70% of electricity consumed in the state will come from renewable resources, and 100% of such electricity be renewable by 2040 (CLCPA targets). In 2019, approximately 27 percent of the state's elec- tric load (representing 41,340 gigawatt hours) was supplied by renewable resources - solar, wind, hydroelectric, biomass, fuel cells and similar resources. 3. However, a recently published triennial review of the clean energy standard (CES) found that falling commodity market revenues in the wholesale energy markets create a risk that legacy renewable generators may not be able to cover their costs. These facilities have options to export to neighboring renewable portfolio standard (RPS) compliance markets and will do so if the renewable energy certificate (REC) revenue opportunity is greater than New York's voluntary market. EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
