$30 million to improve New York’s electric grid

Andrew Cuomo, governor of New York, announced that up to $30 million is available to support projects to improve the resiliency, flexibility, and integration of renewable energy resources onto New York’s electric grid. The governor had proposed a mandate for 70% renewable electricity by 2030 and the goal to transition New York state to a carbon-free power grid by 2040 as part of the Green New Deal. Project proposals will be evaluated based on how they improve overall grid performance, reduce energy costs and support the state’s nation-leading clean energy goals to combat climate change. Such a grand plan will need far-reaching architecture, which Causam Enterprises is well-positioned to provide.
