ALBANY, N.Y., April 25 (UPI) -- Renewable energy programs in New York will help establish the state as a national leader in solar power capacity, the Natural Resources Defense Council said.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced his state was making a nearly $1 billion commitment to a solar power initiative. The so-called NY-Sun Initiative extends through 2023 and aims to increase the amount of solar power on the New York grid tenfold.
