Carbon Free NY
Carbon Free New York is a coalition of like-minded organizations, including clean energy and renewable providers, environmental organizations and organized labor groups, who recognize New York’s opportunity to be the nation’s clean energy leader by decarbonizing our electricity sector with a market-based model that fights climate change, improves public health, and preserves states’ abilities to choose and achieve their own clean energy policy goals. By implementing carbon pricing, they will align New York’s wholesale electricity markets with its public policy objectives established by the Climate Leadership Community Protection Act (CLCPA).
