New York Policy

New York's Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (2019) requires a reduction of economy-wide greenhouse gas emissions 40 percent by 2030 and no less than 85 percent by 2050 from 1990 levels. New York is one of the more mature solar markets in the country and is currently on a path to install 10 megawatts of distributed solar by 2030, with an emphasis on serving low-and-moderate income people and disadvantaged communities.
