Governor Cuomo doubles New York solar goal to 6 GW by 2025

The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) commended New York Governor Andrew Cuomo for his announcement that the state is doubling the NY Sun solar goal to 6 GW by 2025, extending the state’s existing incentive program and launching a new round of large-scale solar awards. Following is a statement from Abigail Ross Hopper, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association: “We commend Governor Cuomo for continuing to move New York ahead on solar energy. His plan to double the NY Sun goal and extend the incentive program will provide much-needed certainty for the distributed solar market.
