Today more than ever, there is an urgent need to scale up progress with energy efficiency. Energy efficiency is one of the pillars of a climate mitigation strategy1. It is also a critical element to meeting the global Sustainable Development Goals and to ensuring a cost-effective transition to a reliable, low-emitting energy system. At the same time, both states have increased their ambition to transition to low-emissions sources of energy, including increased ambition on renewable energy generation and energy efficiency. As a result, the programmes in New York and California have evolved to value the wider system benefits of energy efficiency, as described below.

Flat, clear land is prime real estate for solar, but as these ideal sites are taken up, more projects will need to be built in regions with challenging terrain, such as steep slopes, undulating topography, former marshland, and agricultural fields. The Northeast is one such region which also has much potential for solar growth. New York, for example, has consistently been in the top 10 U.S. solar markets, with the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) projecting a growth of 4,877 MW for the state over the next five years1 .
