Last week, LIA Director of Business Development Dave Fattizzo attended “Yes In My Backyard: A Regional Leadership Summit on Solar and Battery Energy Storage,” hosted by the @nylcv and its partners on Governors Island.
The summit brought together policymakers, fire safety professionals, labor representatives and industry experts to discuss the role of solar energy and battery storage in supporting a safe, affordable and reliable energy future for New York. Discussions explored community safety, workforce development, public health and grid resilience.
Thank you to the organizers for bringing together regional leaders for this important conversation.

Glad fire safety was in the room. New York's 6 GW by 2030 storage plan sets aside funding for downstate projects, where peaker plants are concentrated, so Long Island buy-in really matters. Did the summit get into how local fire reviews for BESS could be made more consistent?
The Election Protection program makes sure eligible voters know how to cast their ballots and ensure they are counted. It’s crucial work – and we need your help!

New York has the opportunity to make plug-in solar an "ordinary consumer option."
All that is needed is @GovKathyHochul's signature for the SUNNY Act to be signed into law.

.@GovKathyHochul has a chance to sign legislation that would help lower utility bills while reducing emissions and expanding access to renewable power.
@LizKrueger and @SpeakerMenin detail why they think Gov. Hochul should take this critical step: buff.ly/mRDDdA6
“Today’s approval is a major win for New York's clean energy future," said NYLCV President @julietighe17.
"Thermal energy networks can help us cut pollution from buildings, create good-paying union jobs, and deliver cleaner, more efficient heating and cooling to New Yorkers!"
We applaud @GovKathyHochul for her leadership and the Public Service Commission for giving these two innovative projects the green light and demonstrating that New York is ready to lead on the next generation of clean energy solutions.

As energy costs rise, @NYSERDA is expanding NY-Sun to power more homes and businesses with clean, affordable solar. That means:
☀️ $200M to build rooftop and community solar
🏡 90k homes powered
Thank you @GovKathyHochul for championing solar for NYers.

“We thank @GovKathyHochul, @NYSERDA, @SenatorHarckham , and Asm. @DidiBarrett106 for championing this investment and advancing clean energy,” said NYLCV President @julietighe17.
As NYers face rising energy costs, expanding access to affordable, renewable solar power is more important than ever.
I’m proud to have fought for $200M in NY-Sun funding to advance clean energy, lower costs, and build a more sustainable future.

National Voter Registration Day at @SyracuseU was a huge success!
Our Student Ambassadors collected 55 voter pledges. They also helped connect 100 students with Democracy Matters to register to vote.
A brand new study from @columbiaclimate's @LamontEarth found that during the first year, fine particulate pollution inside the congestion zone fell about 13 percent.
Congestion Pricing continues to deliver benefits for New Yorkers.

.@LCVoters' #DirtyDozen is out & Nassau County Exec @Bruce_Blakeman is among the worst!
If elected, his energy plan will be a photocopy of Trump’s: a false pledge to reduce energy prices, reverse clean energy projects, & open the spigot for dirty energy. lcvvictoryfund.org/candidate…
