BILL NUMBER: S8384 SPONSOR: PARKER TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public service law, in relation to providing net revenues from utility-owned large-scale renewable generation projects to low-income customers and authorizes utility companies to own such projects PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: In order to meet the state's renewable energy goals, set forth by the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA), this legis- lation authorizes New York's electric utilities to own a limited number of large-scale renewable generating facilities in New York state. Further, this legislation requires that all net revenues from the sale of electricity and the production of renewable energy credits (RECs) from utility-owned large-scale renewable generating facilities be provided to low-income customers in the form of bill credits.

S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 8384 I N S E N A T E February 18, 2022 ___________ 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 service law, in relation to providing net revenues from utility-owned large-scale renewable generation projects to low-income customers and authorizes utility companies to own such projects THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. 1. New York state recog- nizes the deleterious impacts of climate change including increasingly frequent catastrophic weather events. 2. Pursuant to the New York state climate leadership and community protection act (CLCPA), New York state seeks to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions and move its electric generation from fossil fuel-based generation to renewable-based generation. New York state has mandated that seventy percent of electricity come from renewable energy sources by year 2030 and one hundred percent of electricity come from carbon neutral sources by 2040. 3. Further, New York state recognizes that the current pace of devel- opment of in-state renewable energy resources is insufficient to meet the state's statutory renewable generation goals on schedule. 4. Because New York state seeks to accomplish these energy-related goals and standards as soon as practicable allowing regulated utilities to own and operate renewable generation is essential to achieving such goals and to provide a consistent and affordable supply of carbon-free, renewably generated electricity by 2030, through 2050 and beyond. 5. New York state seeks to continue to develop in-state renewable energy projects that will drive down costs, benefit customers receiving retail electric delivery particularly those customers who are low to moderate income. § 2. The public service law is amended by adding a new section 66-s to read as follows: EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD14768-01-2
