http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/23/nyregion/gov-cuomo-to-order-large-increase-in-renewable-energy-in-new-york-by-2030.html?em_pos=small&emc=edit_ur_20151123&nl=nytoday&nlid=8415216&ref=headline&_r=0Frustrated by the pending shutdown of two nuclear power plants on Lake Ontario, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo plans to order state regulators to mandate that, by 2030, half of all power consumed by New Yorkers be generated from renewable sources that emit much less carbon dioxide, people briefed on the matter said.
Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat, has already declared a goal of having 50 percent of the states power come from solar, wind, hydroelectric or other renewable sources in 15 years, but the state has had no means of enforcing that directive. The governor intends to have the Public Service Commission, which regulates utilities in the state, codify the requirement, these people said.

(37,451 posts)1. Were not allowed solar battery storage....
at present because of the utility companies lobbying. They need to work out those issues. My excess goes to the grid. It could be more efficient and productive.

the excess?

(37,451 posts)3. The residuals go to the solar company and my electric bill is reduced.....
I'm waiting until next month to set how the utility company adjusts their billing. I'm paying 1/3 of my former bill and less that the solar co. estimated.
