New York Office of Renewable Energy Siting Details
The Office of Renewable Energy Siting, a first-of-its-kind office established in 2020 by the Accelerated Renewable Energy Growth and Community Benefit Act, consolidates the environmental review and siting of all large-scale renewable energy projects and provides a single forum to ensure that siting decisions are predictable, responsible, and delivered in a timely manner along with opportunities for input from local communities. Large-scale renewable projects include:• Any renewable energy system with a nameplate generating capacity of 25 megawatts or more.• Any co-located battery system storing energy generated from such a renewable energy facility prior to delivering it to the bulk transmission system.• Electric transmission facilities less than 10 miles in length to provide access to load and to integrate such facilities into the State's bulk electric transmission system.
