S 10546 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Enacts the homegrown energy act

This bill requires large data centers to help local households reduce their electricity costs by funding specific energy upgrades. Facilities with a power demand of twenty megawatts or more must either provide bill credits to residents in their local area or install technologies like heat pumps and solar panels. The Public Service Commission will create a program to manage these contributions, ensuring that low- and moderate-income families are prioritized for benefits. The rules for this program will take effect immediately, while the main funding requirements will begin after a ninety-day waiting period.
