What They're Saying

logo-nys-afl-cio "Our partners from the solar industry and environmental advocacy have worked very hard to develop a policy that will create good jobs and more investment in solar power," said Denis Hughes, former President of the New York State AFL-CIO. "This policy will create real jobs, pay prevailing rate where appropriate and will be critical for helping our economy recover. We support solar power as part of a comprehensive energy policy and we have the workforce that is qualified and trained to implement this policy right now. We need help from the leadership in Albany to get started."

Facts

Developing 5,000 megawatts of solar power in New York by 2026 would:

Produce enough clean, reliable electricity to power 500,000 New York homes.
Create thousands of new local jobs in New York.
By reducing the need to fire up our dirtiest and most expensive fossil power plants, 5000 MW of solar by 2025 would generate $3.3 billion in savings for New Yorkers by reducing the wholesale price of electricity.
Spur millions of dollars of investment in the state's emerging clean energy economy.
Bring New York out from the shadow of states like Massachusetts and New Jersey that have surpassed New York in solar development.
