Enacts the "just energy transition act"

Summary

The bill orders the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority to produce a study on how to phase out at least four gigawatts of the state’s oldest, most polluting fossil‑fuel generators and replace them with renewable, storage, and transmission solutions. It requires public notice, comment periods, and hearings—especially in disadvantaged communities—and sets deadlines for state agencies and the Public Service Commission to act on the study’s recommendations. The goal is to meet state climate targets while protecting jobs and health in vulnerable areas.
