New York’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act

New York’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act increased the ambition of the state’s Renewable Portfolio standard to target 70 percent renewable electricity by 2030 and 100 percent carbon-free electricity by 2040.

In June 2020, Public Service Commission Staff released a white paper on adapting the state’s existing Clean Energy Standard to meet the targets of the CLCPA by increasing the procurement of Tier 1 renewable energy projects by 40% and establish a new Tier 4 for renewable energy credits which would include a broader list of hydroelectric resources.
