Establishes new targets for offshore wind electricity generation; includes the requirements that there is at least 15 gigawatts of offshore wind.

New York S02085 amends the public service law and the environmental conservation law to establish new targets for offshore wind electricity generation. It mandates that there must be at least 15 gigawatts of offshore wind electricity generation by 2040, at least 18 gigawatts by 2045, and at least 20 gigawatts by 2050. The bill also sets a goal of achieving six gigawatts of distributed solar energy capacity by 2025 and three gigawatts of statewide energy storage capacity by 2030.
