The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority has launched a new request for proposals (RfP) seeking new renewable energy capacity.

The contracts are spread across 23 large-scale renewables projects, 19 of which are solar PV projects with a combined 1.5GW capacity.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has launched a solicitation calling for 2GW of large-scale renewables projects in the state.

New York has awarded 22 large-scale solar projects contracts as part of the state’s largest land-based procurement of renewables to date.

New York’s State Public Service Commission has approved a new framework for distributed solar in the state that will expand its NY-Sun initiative, which aims to support 10GW of distributed solar by 2030.

Canadian company Ubiquity Solar will construct a cell manufacturing plant in upstate New York that will have an initial 350MWp production line, according to state Governor Kathy Hochul.

New York’s governor has proposed an expansion of the NY-Sun distributed solar incentive programme and revealed plans for two transmission projects that will transport renewable energy to New York City to help the state reach 70% renewable electricity by 2030.
