The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) announced improvements to NY-Sun’s highly successful Megawatt Block incentive program for non-residential and large commercial and industrial solar projects. The redesign, made in response to a rapidly changing market, includes expanding the incentives, supporting larger solar projects and encouraging development in a greater variety of locations, including brownfields, landfills and at affordable housing locations. The NY-Sun program supports Governor Andrew M. Cuomo’s mandate for 50 percent of the state’s electricity from renewable resources by 2030.

Alicia Barton, president and CEO of NYSERDA said, “Solar energy is a key component of Governor Cuomo’s nation-leading commitment to 50 percent renewable energy by 2030, and the NY-Sun initiative redesign will help ensure we keep the momentum going in New York’s fast-growing solar market. New solar projects are being constructed across the state faster than ever before, bringing clean energy and solar jobs to communities in every region of New York.”
