Enacts the "just energy transition act" to facilitate the phase-out of New York's oldest and most-polluting fossil fuel generation facilities by 2030.
The bill requires a study of competitive options to phase out, replace, and redevelop New York's oldest and most-polluting fossil fuel generation facilities by 2030. It mandates the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority to develop this study, which must prioritize facilities that operate during peak electricity usage. The study should address the phase-out of at least four gigawatts of fossil fuel generation capacity and include a method for displaced workers to notify the commissioner of labor.
