New York state energy research and development authority to develop recommendations on establishing microgrids.

The bill mandates the New York state energy research and development authority to create recommendations on establishing microgrids. These recommendations should cover whether microgrids should be set up at critical facilities like hospitals and first responder headquarters. The report must also identify priority geographic areas for microgrids, considering past storm damage and disadvantaged communities. The final report is to be submitted to the governor, the temporary president of the senate, and the speaker of the assembly within a year.
