Running Behind: New York State's Renewable Transformation

ES-1.png

Client: Earthjustice

Authors: Bryndis Woods, Sagal Alisalad and Liz Stanton, PhD

March 2020

On behalf of Earthjustice, Researcher Bryndis Woods, Assistant Researcher Sagal Alisalad and Senior Economist Liz Stanton, PhD prepared a report that reviews New York State’s past progress on its new climate law as it applies to the electric sector. We find that the state has its work cut out for it in meeting its ambitious targets regarding: renewable energy development, energy efficiency, and greenhouse gas emissions reductions. Given historical trends in these areas, New York will need to dramatically scale up its efforts, beginning immediately, to reach its goals. Importantly, we also find that solar, wind and solar plus storage technologies are feasible and immediately available, and that currently planned gas capacity is at odds with the state’s renewable energy and emission reduction goals and will, therefore, impose unnecessary costs on New York consumers.
