Last year, New York state<\/a> committed to generating half of its energy from renewable sources by the year 2030. As the country\u2019s third-largest population, New York now joins California (America\u2019s most populous state) in having set a \u201c50 by \u201830\u201d renewable energy benchmark.<\/p>\n

Mandatory and Enforceable 50 x \u201930 Renewable Energy Standard<\/h2>\n

\"New<\/a>The program mandates that 50 percent of all electricity consumed in New York by 2030 come from clean and renewable energy<\/a> sources. New York\u2019s utilities and other electricity suppliers will be required to obtain 50 percent of New York\u2019s electricity from renewable energy resources and will face penalties if they fail to comply.<\/p>\n

As home to more than 85,000 clean energy jobs<\/a> in fields like energy efficiency, solar energy, wind power, energy storage, and alternative-fuel vehicles, the \u201c50 by \u201830\u201d program will send those job numbers skyward in New York even more.<\/p>\n

2 Percent Energy Savings Gains Annually<\/h2>\n

The Public Service Commission has also committed to expanding the state\u2019s energy efficiency programs, which still needs to be implemented by subsequent commission actions later this year. The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) will continue to prioritize the creation of a firm target of at least 2 percent energy-saving gains annually.<\/a><\/p>\n

National Renewable Energy Goals<\/h2>\n

Although the majority are currently well below the 50 percent level, 29 states have established enforceable renewable energy goals<\/a>. As home to more than 20 percent of the nation\u2019s population, California and New York are moving in the right direction and setting the lead on energy savings with the \u201c50 by \u201830\u201d renewables decision.<\/p>\n

Smaller states have also identified hefty goals- Hawaii, for example, has set a goal of 100 percent renewables by 2045, Vermont: 75 percent by 2032, and Oregon: 50 percent renewables by 2040. The hope is that many other states will ride the momentum to drive clean energy in the United States even further.<\/p>\n

CNBC<\/a> reports, “This clean energy standard shows you can generate the power necessary for supporting the modern economy while combating climate change,” said Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who first laid out the “50 by ’30” goal last year. “Make no mistake, this is a very threat that continues to grow by the day and I urge all other states to join us in this fight for our very future.”<\/p>\n
