Right now thousands of New Yorkers are benefiting from solar power on their own property, but millions more face physical or financial barriers to accessing solar. It’s time to clear the way for all New Yorkers – including renters and low-income families – to go solar and save.
Please work with the Public Service Commission to create a shared renewable energy program and empower more New Yorkers to participate directly in our growing solar economy.
Why is this important?
The State of New York is likely to make a decision next Thursday, July 16th, on whether every New Yorker should have access to renewable energy! Renewable energy is already delivering tremendous benefits across New York, but the traditional panels-on-your-roof model simply does not work for many consumers who do not own the perfect roof for solar.
Now state leaders are considering a new program that would allow these customers to choose clean energy for the first time. A shared renewable energy program would allow communities to come together to build a clean energy project, and see the economic benefits of that clean energy directly on their utility bills. We are urging the Governor to move forward with this program and to make it a priority in 2015 so that all New Yorkers have the opportunity to plug into clean energy.
