Planning of conventional generation and renewable resources #x2014; 2012 IEEE PES general meeting

摘要

New York's Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) is among the most ambitious in the country, with a renewable energy target of 30% by 2015. The amount of new renewable resources to be procured translates to roughly 10.4 million megawatt-hours (MWh) by 2015. Like most other regions, the majority of these renewable resources are located in remote areas of upstate and western New York, far from the downstate load centers. New York has over 1,300 megawatts (MW) of installed wind with another 4,600 MW of onshore wind at various stages of development and almost 2,000 MW of offshore wind in its interconnection queue [1].
