New York’s reputation for expansion and progression has been in tact since its annexation. Taking ownership of the first compulsory education laws, the first steamboat, and even the first American chess tournament, New York has always committed itself to paving the way for its fellow states. These days, New York’s commitment to green energy is leading our nation in the right direction once again.
In 2004, New York developed a renewable portfolio standard that demands nearly 30 of its energy supply to stem from renewables by the year 2015. If you’re not familiar with the nationwide data, that’s one of the most ambitious renewable portfolio standards of any state in the nation.
New York legislation has aided the process by introducing policies like energy deregulation for both residential and commercial customers. Deregulation is a simple concept; basically, it means consumers have a right to choose their electricity supplier. It sounds like it could be a convoluted process with all the jargon that surrounds the industry, but with sites like www.shopnaturalgasratesnewyork.com set up for consumers, it’s easy to choose a supplier.
Under a deregulated model, a good deal of New Yorkers now have the opportunity to choose a green energy plan from one of these statewide suppliers. Green energy plans are an important part of New York’s effort to mold its energy supply into something far more sustainable. With more and more New Yorkers incorporating green energy into their home supply, it seems like the state’s renewable portfolio standard should be more than attainable in the coming years. And with New York’s storied history of growth and advancement, it’s more than likely we’ll see it raise the bar even further for green energy in years to come.
