Public Policy

In April of 2008, Governor David A. Paterson issued Executive Order 2 establishing a State Energy Planning Board and authorizing the creation and implementation of a State Energy Plan in order to "enable the State to determine its future energy needs and facilitate a deliberate, efficient, and cost-effective means of meeting those needs."

Following months of collaboration with stakeholders and members of the public, the State Energy Planning Board issued a final plan in December of 2009.

The final Plan is available online at www.nysenergyplan.com. Any future news and information regarding implementation and review of the 2009 Energy Plan will be made available here.
