New York State Governor Kathy Hochul held a press conference to announce the release of the state’s sixth competitive solicitation, calling for 2,000 megawatts or more of new large-scale renewable energy projects.
Once completed, these projects will be able to power at least 600,000 New York homes and are expected to bring nearly $3 billion in clean energy investments. Additionally these projects will create over 2,000 family-sustaining jobs in the clean energy industry. This accelerates the goal of obtaining 70 percent of statewide electricity from renewable energy sources by 2030.
