Title of bill

An act to amend the public authorities law, in relation to requiring the New York state energy research and development authority to submit an annual report detailing energy efficiency savings achieved in grant recipients' properties

Purpose

The purpose of this legislation to collect data on the effectiveness of energy efficiency grants awarded by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA).

Summary of provisions

This legislation amends the public authorities law by adding a new section, 1873.

Justification

In our current climate of economic uncertainty, New York State cannot afford to spend money on projects that fail to meet their objectives; in this case, reduction in energy consumption. The report generated under this legislation will allow policy makers to evaluate the effectiveness of these grants, and if necessary, to make adjustments in the awarding of these funds.
