Cuomo. &#8220;The strategic pairing of energy storage and solar technologies moves us closer to building a clean energy economy that protects critical natural resources and benefits all New Yorkers.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>New York&#8217;s energy storage aspirations support a broader goal of the state sourcing 50% of its electricity from renewables by 2030 and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by the same year; based on 1990 levels.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Solar Energy Industries Association (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.seia.org\/state-solar-policy\/new-york-solar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SEIA<\/a>), 1,462.93MW of solar capacity was installed throughout the state by the end of Q2 this year; ranking it 11th in the USA.<\/p>\n<p>The Governor&#8217;s 1,500MW energy storage goal was proposed early this year along with a number of other initiatives, including the adoption of\u00a0 regulations <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/new-york-energy-storage-mb0399\/\">ending the use of coal<\/a> in the state\u2019s power plants by 2020.<\/p>\n<p>While medium\/large scale PV is bounding along in New York, home solar uptake in the state remains low compared to Australia. According to the SEIA, 243,124 New York (state) homes had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/panels\/\">solar panels<\/a> installed by the end of Q2. This situation is due in part to pricing. For example, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/systems\/5kw\/\">5kW solar system<\/a> in Australia using quality components and professionally installed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/panels\/cost\/\">costs<\/a> $5,000 \u2013 $8,000 after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/panels\/rebate\/\">subsidies<\/a>, whereas in New York it can cost more than double that in AUD.<\/p>\n<h2>More Electric Vehicle Charging Points<\/h2>\n<p>In related news and also announced on Friday was the addition of 44 new<a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/ev-chargers\/public\/\"> electric vehicle charging points<\/a> in the New York cities of Rochester and Buffalo. There are now 1,100 state-funded chargers across New York State as part of an effort to encourage uptake and use of electric vehicles- and more to come.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We are moving forward by working with communities to build an even more extensive network of charging stations which will substantially reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and build a cleaner, greener New York for all,&#8221;
