BILL NUMBER:S215
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 establish the energy efficiency portfolio standard and approving programs
Purpose
The purpose of this legislation is to collect data on the effectiveness of energy efficiency grants awarded by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) through.
Summary of provisions
This legislation amends the public authorities law by adding a new section, 1873.
Justification
The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority appropriates grant funding to recipients in New York State to achieve energy efficiency savings through capital improvements or other energy saving measures. 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 delivered through this legislation will allow policy makers to evaluate the effectiveness of these grants, and if necessary, to make adjustments to the process of awarding these funds.
