New York state will begin construction of over 20 large-scale renewable energy infrastructure projects later this year as part of a collaboration between the state and leading firms in the field.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced on April 22 that the projects will create more than 2,000 jobs statewide and prompt almost $1.5 billion in private investment, factors that could help stimulate economic recovery amid the pandemic.
The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority partnered with firms such as the Goldman Sachs Renewable Power Group, a company that sponsors solar energy projects, and CS Energy, an energy firm that specializes in solar power, to push the projects forward and advance Cuomo’s climate policy.
