New York State just crushed its expectations for solar power as stated in the 2019 State Climate Law. The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (or NYSERDA), stated that they installed 6 Gigawatts of solar energy, which crushed their expectations by a year.
The NYSERDA has been trying to produce cleaner and more efficient energy since the State Climate Law was introduced. “This is not only a huge benefit to consumers, a huge benefit to our environment but also a huge benefit to our economy,” President and CEO Doreen Harris states. These new solar farms have not only produced $9.2 billion in private investments but also created over 14,000 jobs nationwide.
This giant influx of energy has powered over 1 million homes in New York State. With solar energy being clean, this is a huge win for environmentalists and climate change activists. The NYSERDA has claimed that they expect to distribute 10 Gigawatts of solar power by the year 2030.
The NYSERDA is doing its best to make New York State a healthier and cleaner place, by producing cleaner energy more and more every day.
The transition into a ‘low-carbon future’ would be critical in the fight against climate change and global warming. In accordance with the State Climate Law, the NYSERDA is striving to make dramatic changes in the economy, environment, and people, by cleaning up the world one state at a time.
