- It powers 15,000+ local jobs and helps reduce electricity costs for families and businesses.
- The rally supports the newly introduced Accelerate Solar for Affordable Power (ASAP) Act, which aims to:
- Expand New York’s solar deployment goals
- Reform utility interconnection to cut costs
- Support projects benefiting homeowners, renters, and businesses alike
- Expand New York’s solar deployment goals
