The Future of Energy Policy in New York

New York is actively shaping its energy future as it aims for clean, dependable, and equitable power. Understanding the evolving landscape—including energy rebates, local laws, and state planning—is essential. Slattery Energy Consulting Group is poised to help clients navigate these changes with confidence.

A Vision Extending to 2040

The New York State Energy Plan outlines strategies through 2040 to create a reliable, affordable, and clean energy system that supports economic growth, environmental protection, and equity However, the latest draft acknowledges hurdles: rising electricity demand, permitting delays, and cost issues may push back key targets, such as achieving 70% renewable energy, from 2030 to 2033, with full emissions reduction goals delayed too.

Building Resilience with Storage and Nuclear Power

To bolster reliability and grid flexibility, New York is investing in bulk energy storage—announced by Governor Hochul—to secure 1 GW as part of a broader 6 GW roadmap. The state is also pioneering nuclear power, unveiling plans for the first primary new U.S. nuclear plant in over 15 years to deliver around 1 GW of clean baseload electricity.

Renewables and Energy Efficiency: Critical Components

The New York Power Authority (NYPA) recently pledged to double renewable output to 7 GW, with new solar arrays and wind farms powering millions of homes—advancing statewide clean energy goals. Meanwhile, energy efficiency programs are receiving robust support: $5 billion over five years via NYSERDA and utilities to fund building electrification and efficiency, mainly benefiting low-to-moderate income communities.

Unlocking Energy Rebates under Local Law 84

Complying with NYC’s Local Law 84 can make properties eligible for energy rebates, enhancing efficiency, lowering costs, and improving building marketability. Property owners can engage an energy consultant or energy broker—roles that Slattery Energy Consulting Group excels at—to navigate rebate programs and regulatory compliance.
