All Electric New Construction Under Consideration in NYS Budget Negotiations - Rebecca C. Lewis & Peter Sterne – City & State - “The governor’s executive budget proposed phasing out the use of gas and other fossil fuels in new construction, and both chambers included versions of the governor’s plan in their one-house budgets. The Assembly backed the governor’s proposal to mandate that all new buildings under seven stories built after 2026 and all new buildings over seven stories built after 2028 use electricity rather than gas for heating and cooking. The state Senate one-house budget set a slightly more aggressive deadline of 2025 for smaller buildings and 2027 for larger buildings – a compromise between the governor’s proposal and the standalone All Electric Buildings Act, which calls for ending the construction of new fossil fuel hookups in smaller buildings as soon as next year.” Article link here. NY Focus analysis of budget bill differences here. (Click on Climate & Environment at the bottom of the article)

The Future of Gas in New York – Building Decarbonization Coalition - “New York’s gas utilities’ responses to the Climate Law put ratepayers at risk over the long term. Gas utilities are increasing their investments in their high fixed-cost pipeline networks despite growing risk that those networks will become obsolete due to competition and climate policies. Over the past 10 years, the undepreciated balance of New York’s gas utilities’ investments in gas distribution infrastructure has more than doubled from $13 billion to $29 billion.” Full 76 page report here.

NY Senate Proposes Doubling the Solar and Geothermal Tax Credits – The NY Senate’s One-House budget includes a provision that raises the cap on the 25% tax credit for residential solar and geothermal installations from $5,000 to $10,000. This bill would provide an important boost to New York’s building decarbonization efforts without burdening ratepayers for its cost. NY-GEO has developed a sign on letter for organizations to support this provision. Individuals and organizations interested in helping to persuade the Assembly and Governor to past this increase are asked to email nygeoinfo@gmail.com.

SF Bay Air District Requires Net-Zero NOx Replacement Space and Water Heaters by 2027 – On March 15^th the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) adopted regulations that will effectively outlaw the sale or installation fossil-fueled water heaters in 2027 and furnaces and boilers in 2029. The BAAQMD notes “The rule amendments will apply only to new appliances, and do not mandate retrofitting of existing appliances.” Yahoo coverage here.

PSC Rejects New York City Gas Project – Public Service Commission press release - “After Detailed Engineering Study and Public Comment Period, PSC Determines Greenpoint Gas Vaporizers Not Needed… The New York State Public Service Commission (Commission) today determined that National Grid’s proposed gas vaporizers project in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn is not necessary to meet a reasonable forecast of peak demand at this time. As a result, the Commission denied the company’s petition seeking cost recovery for the project. ‘The detailed and thorough analysis provided by Department staff and an independent, third-party advisor clearly demonstrated that the utility’s updated forecast of peak demand, which showed a reduction in projected peak demand, means that the project is not needed at this time,’ said Commission Chair Rory M. Christian… The Commission’s decision today comes after the Commission held four public statement hearings and heard from hundreds of residents about the project. Together, the Commission received written or oral public comments from more than 1,200 individuals or groups." Full release here.

NY Senate Includes HEAT Act in One-House Budget – The HEAT Act (S2016/A4592 – Krueger/Fahy) implements key recommendations from NYs Climate Action Plan to eliminate billions in subsidies for new gas hookups, enable neighborhood scale building decarbonization, and ensure energy affordability for low- and moderate-income families. The bill is included in its entirety in the Senate’s one-house budget bill, but is missing in both the Governor’s and Assembly’s proposed budgets. It lays out a path to eliminate the “100 foot rule”, a gas expansion subsidy that forces ratepayers to fund free gas infrastructure for new buildings. See below for a tweet from Assemblymember Fahy listing the more than 100 organizations, including NY-GEO that have endorsed the Act. Click here for Renewable Heat Now’s one-pager on NY HEAT.

Foley Hoag on Removing Barriers to Geothermal Deployment in NY – Sarah Main, Noah Shaw, and Devlyn Tedesco – Foley Hoag, LLP – “The New York State Climate Action Council’s Scoping Plan acknowledged that the regulatory requirements for geothermal boreholes deeper than 500 feet are a challenge to building electrification and recommended that NYSDEC develop new regulations to relieve the economic and time burden associated with the current scheme. The state must move quickly in 2023 to reform its outdated rules for geothermal drilling if it is going to make necessary progress in its effort to decarbonize its existing building stock.”  Thanks to Anshul Gupta of the Climate Reality Project for this tip. Full blog here.

Stacey Abrams Joins Rewiring America as Senior Counsel - “Abrams will take the role of Senior Counsel, helping launch and scale a national awareness campaign and a network of large and small communities working to help Americans go electric. She will also guide the organization as it builds the tools and capacity to connect Americans and their communities to machines, installers, Inflation Reduction Act incentives, and jobs in the clean energy transition…’I’m excited to join Rewiring America to share the benefits of electrification and ensure families get their fair share. I look forward to working together as we build the tools that will transform everyday Americans from energy consumers to energy moguls in their own communities’” said Abrams Release link here.

Gigantic Home Battery Network In Japan – Julian Spector – Canary Media – “Small-scale renewables and batteries could team up to replace large fossil-fueled plants… Since 2017, Itochu has built up a fleet across Japan of 36,000 home batteries (and has plans to expand to 100,000 units)… The regulations aren’t yet in place to enable all those little batteries to participate in the broader workings of the grid. So the virtual power plant is doing what it can, helping each household until the pieces fall into place for the batteries to take on a more robust role in Japan’s energy system.” Full story here.

Building Electrification Ad - A coalition backing a mandate to electrify new homes and phase out fossil fuel combustion in existing buildings has launched a Facebook ad campaign highlighting the volatile price of natural gas. The Better Buildings NY coalition, which includes environmental groups such as NRDC, Alliance for a Green Economy and WE ACT for Environmental Justice, announced it spent in the “high five figures” on the ads to support all-electric buildings requirements. “Tell Governor Hochul it’s time to get off gas and transition to a clean and affordable heating future,”   TY POLITICO Weekly NY&NJ Energy the 47-second ad finishes with the phrase "Take Back Your Power!".

New DOE Geothermal Heat Pump Graphic – In addition to other positives, the listing of benefits includes ”seasonal energy storage”, a benefit that will become increasingly important as we electrify the heating sector. Thanks to Heather Deese from Dandelion Energy for this tip Find it here.

With Heat Pumps, US Energy Requirements Could Plummet By 50% - Michael Barnard - Clean Technica – “Electrification (can) radically reduce the requirement to build new… primary energy sources… What is the primary energy fallacy? Well, it’s the belief that we have to replace all the primary energy inputs… What we really have to replace is the energy services in light gray boxes on the right-hand side of the chart. That’s right, the US doesn’t need to replace 97.3 quads of energy, it needs to replace 31.8 quads of energy. Or does it even need to do that? Can we reduce the big wasted energy reflected in the rejected energy box? Sure, that’s why the mantra is electrify everything.” Thanks to NY-GEO member Paul Coons for this tip. Article link here

New York Nuclear Plant is Producing Hydrogen – Renewable Energy World – The Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station in Oswego, New York is part of a cost-sharing demonstration project between the DOE and Constellation Energy. The project is part of a DOE plan to increase volume and reduce cost of hydrogen production from non-fossil fuel sources. Electricity from the plant splits water into H₂ and O₂.Roughly 95 percent of the hydrogen produced in the U.S. is currently sourced from fossil fuels. Full story here

Carbon-Free Energy To Make Up 84% Of New US Power Capacity In 2023 – Julian Spector, Maria Virginia Olano - Canary Media – Solar makes up half the projected total, with batteries next in line. The 2023 projections for solar, wind, nuclear and grid batteries were made prior to passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The incentives in the IRA are expected to help make most carbon-free portfolios cheaper than any gas-fired plants planned for construction through 2035. Full story here

IPhone Can Time Its Charging - Michael J. Coren – Climate Coach – Washington Post – “My phone is always fully charged each morning… While I can’t confirm precisely when the feature adjusts my charging, it appears to ramp up after 9 p.m., just after peak hours pass in California… Once people enable such devices en masse,… the costs of electricity prices could fall 10 to 17 percent based on one Texas study, as the grid becomes far more flexible and cleaner... You might even own these devices already. LG refrigerators, for example, come preloaded with software that, once connected to the grid, can adjust their energy consumption. Article link here.

Revel Building “Super Hub” EV Charging Sites In NYC – Patrick George – The Verge – About 19,000 EVs were registered in NYC as of early February this year. However, charging infrastructure for these vehicles is limited. Revel’s hubs will add a total of 136 charging stations at five locations throughout NYC. All except the Red Hook location (scheduled to open in 2024) will open by the end of this year. Each station will have a rating of at least 150kW, which should be able to power an EV to near-full levels in just 10 to 20 minutes. Full story here.

In California, Sunnova Offers “Free” Batteries in Response to Upcoming Policy Change – John Engel – Renewable Energy World – In one month, California will move from a net metering framework to net billing, which incentivizes co-locating battery storage with solar systems.  “In response… Houston-based Sunnova said it would offer a ‘free’ battery, which it valued at $8,000, to new customers.”  The California Public Utilities Commission stated that the existing tariff “negatively impacts non-participating ratepayers; disproportionately harms low-income ratepayers; and is not cost-effective…  Last fall, Sunnova filed paperwork with California state regulators to develop a solar and storage-focused micro-utility. The proposal was seen as posing a relatively small, but novel, challenge to the state’s incumbent investor-owned utilities.”  Full story here.

2023 RHN Legislative and Budget Agenda - The Renewable Heat Now Campaign (RHN) is organizing to win funding and policies that will move fossil fuels out of our buildings affordably and equitably. The legislative package includes the All-Electric New Building Act (S00562-A/A00920-A - Kavanaugh/Gallagher) that would sunset fossil fuels in new construction starting January 1, 2024. It also includes the NY Home Energy Equitable Transition (HEAT) Act – (S2016/A4592 – Krueger/Fahy) and the Energy Efficiency, Equity and Jobs Act (S3126c/A3996c – Parker/Hunter). In addition, RHN has also released an agenda for the NYS budget, which is currently being negotiated by the Governor and the Legislature.

Climate Updates:

Assessing ExxonMobil’s Global Warming Projections – G. Supran, S. Rahmstorf, N. Oreskes - Science - “Our findings demonstrate that ExxonMobil didn’t just know ‘something’ about global warming decades ago—they knew as much as academic and government scientists knew. But whereas those scientists worked to communicate what they knew, ExxonMobil worked to deny it—including overemphasizing uncertainties, denigrating climate models, mythologizing global cooling, feigning ignorance about the discernibility of human-caused warming, and staying silent about the possibility of stranded fossil fuel assets in a carbon-constrained world.” Thanks to Jeanne Bergman from SANE Energy for this tip. Article link here.

Record Heat Fuels Extreme Fires In Chile – Fabian Cambero – Reuters – “At least 24 people are dead and nearly 1,000 are injured as over 260 wildfires rage across Chile, fueled by a heatwave with record-breaking temperatures.  The 104°F (40°C) heat is hampering efforts to battle the fires, which have burned more acres in the last week than what usually burns in a year, Interior Minister Carolina Tohá told reporters. ‘The evolution of climate change shows us again and again that this has a centrality and a capacity to cause an impact that we have to internalize much more,’ Tohá said. ‘Chile is one of the countries with the highest vulnerability to climate change, and this isn’t theory but rather practical experience.’” Reuters article here .
