NYSERDA outlines five‑goal energy plan and a 2027 manual update; plan flags large‑load and workforce issues
Summary
Senior VP Carl Mas briefed the board on the state energy plan's five primary goals—abundant/reliable clean energy, affordability, economic growth and jobs, innovation, and decarbonization—and said the plan will receive a statutory manual update in 2027 as staff address large‑load interconnection, thermal networks, biofuels, and workforce strategies.
Carl Mas, Senior Vice President for Policy Analysis and Research, told the NYSERDA board the energy planning board approved the authority's energy plan and outlined five core goals that will guide state action: deliver abundant, reliable, resilient clean energy; ensure affordable energy with equitable benefits; enable economic growth and jobs; promote innovation; and accelerate decarbonization. Mas said the plan will undergo a required manual update in 2027 to report progress, fill gaps, and add new analyses.
Mas highlighted priority topics for the update and near‑term work: evolving wholesale market design and resource adequacy to keep lights on; addressing large‑load interconnection requests (NYISO's queue included 48 projects totaling over 11 GW in January); thermal energy networks and biofuels as strategic areas; and energy workforce development, where the plan's scenarios show potential for as many as 80,000 new jobs as the state transitions energy systems. The update will include sensitivity studies on large loads and portability analyses to inform policy choices.
