Buffalo Niagara Partnership

To provide ratepayers with long-term certainty, the state needs to turn temporary progress into permanent policy by formally changing course on the policies-on-pause: the All-Electric Buildings Act, the Advanced Clean Car and Truck Rules, and Cap-and-Invest.

While this is a strong step forward, there is significant work left to be done to align state law with the Energy Plan’s new direction.

Statement from CEO Dottie Gallagher: The State Energy Plan adopted today represents a welcomed shift in New York’s approach toward energy. The BNP commends the Hochul administration for taking steps toward a more affordable and reliable energy future.

Congratulations to @SenSeanRyan on being elected the next mayor of Buffalo. We look forward to working with you in true partnership to build a more economically vibrant and growing city.

The All-Electric Buildings rule would make housing less affordable and less safe. It's time for New York State pause implementation of this mandate. Thank you Assemblymember Bill Conrad (@140thBill) for taking a stand on this issue. 🔗 Read more: nystateofpolitics.com/state-of-polit…
