Governor Cuomo recently announced that New York's multiple
solar programs are transitioning into the single, statewide NY-Sun
Incentive Program. The decision is intended to support the $1
billion NY-Sun initiative and help grow the State's already
vibrant solar market. The intended outcome of the
Governor's program is to expand deployment of solar projects
across the state, add more than 3,000 megawatts (MW) to the
State's solar capacity, which is enough to power 400,000 homes,
and ultimately transform New York's solar market into a
self-sustaining industry.
With the launch of the program, Governor Cuomo intended to send
"a clear message that New York is a leader in solar energy
innovation." Merging multiple programs into the NY-Sun
Incentive Program is projected to further stimulate the development
of solar projects across the state and "aid in New York's
transition to a cleaner, cheaper and more efficient energy
grid."
