New York State Increased Its Solar Power Use by Nearly 800%
“New York is putting its money where its mouth is when it comes to a clean energy commitment. The state boasts an almost 800 percent increase in solar power over the past five years.
According to a statement made earlier this week by Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, “New York is a national leader in clean energy, and the tremendous growth of the solar industry across this state demonstrates this renewal technology’s increased accessibility and affordability for residents and businesses.”
The state generated 83.06 MW of solar power in 2011. Last year, that increased by 795 percent to 743.65 MW.
