2023-S6218 - Summary
Enacts "the planned offshore wind transmission act"; requires the New York state energy and research development authority to establish a plan for improved transmission planning and coordinating systems for an offshore grid; requires the authority conduct a benefit-cost-analysis and ratepayer impact study to determine the overall costs of implementing planned transmission and coordinated systems for an offshore grid.

BILL NUMBER: S6218 SPONSOR: PARKER TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public authorities law, in relation to enacting "the planned offshore wind transmission act" PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: The purpose of this bill is to establish a plan for improved trans- mission planning and coordination systems for an offshore grid, upon expansion of the state's offshore wind megawatt (MW) goal above the current nine thousand MWs. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section one establishes the short title of "the planned offshore wind transmission act." Section two establishes the legislative intent.

S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 6218 2023-2024 Regular Sessions I N S E N A T E April 4, 2023 ___________ 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 to amend the public authorities law, in relation to enacting "the planned offshore wind transmission act" THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as "the planned offshore wind transmission act". § 2. Legislative intent. In 2019, the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act was signed into law, requiring that New York reduce econ- omy-wide greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent from 1990 levels by 2030 and by no less than 85 percent by 2050. In addition, the law requires 9,000 megawatt (MW) of offshore wind development by 2035. In antic- ipation that the state's mandated offshore wind goal will increase, improved planning and coordination is needed to reduce costs and mini- mize community and environmental impacts of offshore wind expansion in New York state. In addition, a more cohesive approach is needed now to build on the momentum of the Inflation Reduction Act and other once-in- a-generation measures to start the build-out of a lower-cost, lower-im- pact offshore wind transmission system. Independent, shared transmission will minimize seabed cabling and shore crossings, reduce overall costs and impacts to ratepayers, and build an ocean grid that complements the resiliency of the onshore grid. This planned approach is already happening in Europe, and it is imper- ative that New York follows suit. Standards must be established to ensure that offshore wind transmission systems can connect with each other to operate in a network. § 3. The public authorities law is amended by adding a new section 1885 to read as follows: EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
