IPPNY Statement on the State Energy Planning Board Discussion
The Independent Power Producers of New York, Inc. (IPPNY) supports the efforts of the State Energy Planning Board. Today’s meeting at the Albany Capital Center marks the beginning of what will hopefully be a series of meaningful discussions on the state’s energy policy. IPPNY commends Governor Kathy Hochul for taking an honest assessment of the costs and reliability impacts of New York’s clean energy transition.
IPPNY President and CEO Gavin J. Donohue said: “The recent extreme heat has put serious stress on the electric grid, providing a timely wakeup call that New York needs a realistic approach to energy planning to ensure that our grid transition remains reliable and affordable. As a member of the Climate Action Council, I have been calling for discussions such as this for years and it is great to see a productive meeting on the state’s energy future occur.”
