Governor Kathy Hochul announced Monday a slate of new projects and targets to expand New York’s green energy infrastructure over the coming decade, including building out lines to feed renewable power to New York City and scale up a statewide solar program.

“We’re going to take some major steps to build a more resilient New York and accelerate our progress toward nation-leading emissions goals,” Hochul said on Sept. 20 at the Climate Week NYC summit hosted by the non-profit Climate Group alongside the United Nations General Assembly this week.
