New York Approves Community Distributed Generation Program
July 17,2015 New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced the approval of a community shared renewables program, intended to enable renewable ownership by customers unable to install on-site distribution generation because they rent their home, live in an apartment building, or own properties unsuitable for installing solar panels or other clean energy technologies. Under the shared renewables initiative (also referred to as community distributed generation), customers can join together to share in the benefits of the distributed generation. Each individual member’s production would appear as a credit on their monthly utility bill. The first phase of the shared renewables program will focus on promoting low-income customer participation and installations in areas of the power grid that can benefit most from local power production, the governor's office said During the first phase of Shared Renewables from October 19, 2015 through April 30, 2016, projects will be limited to those that advance one of two specific Reforming the Energy Vision goals: siting distributed generation in areas where it can provide the greatest locational benefits to the larger power grid, or supporting economically distressed communities by ensuring at least 20 percent of the participants are low- and moderate-income customers. Beginning May 1, 2016, a second phase will make shared renewable projects available throughout entire utility service territories. See http://www.ny-sun.ny.gov/Community-Solar for more
