NY Power Coalition on Why Hochul’s Energy Plan Breaks Climate Law

On Tuesday December 16, the Hochul administration approved an update to the state energy plan which embraced an All-of-the-Above energy policy including fossil fuels and nuclear power. Many climate groups challenged the plan as being out of compliance with the goals included in the CLCPA, the state’s climate law five years ago. Many are disappointed that not only has Hochul and NYPA failed to commit to build 15 GW of publicly owned renewable energy to meet the state’s climate goal, but recently backed down to 5.5 GW.
