Repeals section 1020-dd of the public authorities law, relating to the prohibition of acceptance by the Long Island power authority of preference hydroelectricity
This bill repeals a specific provision (section 1020-dd) in New York's Public Authorities Law that prohibited the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) from accepting "preference hydroelectricity." Preference hydroelectricity refers to hydroelectric power generated from specific sources meeting defined criteria. The repeal removes this legal barrier, allowing LIPA to potentially accept such hydroelectric power in its energy procurement. This change directly affects LIPA's authority to source certain types of hydroelectric energy.
