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?

“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. nysenate.gov/newsroom/press-…

.@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…
