Reforming The Energy Vision Information Session & Hearing

Information Session starts 5:00PM
Public Statement Hearing starts 6:00PM

Under the Reforming the Energy Vision initiative (REV), New York State will spur clean energy innovation, bring in new investments, and improve consumer choice while protecting the environment and energizing New York's economy. This pioneering approach provides New Yorkers new opportunities for energy savings, local power generation, and enhanced reliability. To achieve the State's economic development and environmental objectives, REV encomasses statewide initiatives such as the Clean Energy Fund and the $1 billion NY Green Bank to overcome market barriers and attract private capital. By empowering communities and creating jobs through programs like Community Solar NY and K-Solar for schools, the $40 million NY-Prize competition for community microgrids, and the $1 billion NY-Sun Initiative, New York is leveraging statewide resources to integrate local energy resources and meet the needs of New York communities.

To ensure full public participation, the Department of Public Services will conduct an information session and public statement hearing in Yonkers on October 28th to seek input and comments form the community on Staff White Paper. The information session will provide an overview of what the REV initiative means for consumers, followed immediately by the public statement hearing at which all those who wish to comment on REV and Staff White Paper will have the opportunity to make a statement on the rocord, for the Commission to consider in deliberations.
