Gov. David Paterson announced that New York State is embarking on a program that will quintuple the amount of solar power used in the State. The Governor's plan, dubbed the "45 by 14 program", is part of his efforts to get 45 percent of the state's energy consumption from renewable sources by 2015.
"The New York Power Authority's advancement of this, the largest solar initiative in state history, aligns with the state energy plan's direction to increase in-state energy supplies," said Paterson.
Paterson's initiative, described as one of the most aggressive in the country, aims to increase state solar capacity 500 percent and power 15,000 New York homes.
"A sustainable future for New York requires bold initiatives which will increase the deployment of clean energy," Paterson added.
