Repeals the major renewable energy development program, including the office of renewable energy siting and electric transmission

Summary

The bill eliminates Article 8 of the Public Service Law, which created the major renewable energy development program and the Office of Renewable Energy Siting and Electric Transmission. It also amends several environmental conservation statutes to delete references to that program, shifting any remaining siting authority to existing certificate or permit processes. The change would affect developers of large renewable‑energy and transmission projects and the state agencies that currently oversee their siting.
