The New York City Council adopted a local law to amend the administrative code by establishing a shared solar program. This program enables both residential and commercial customers to subscribe to community distributed generation projects, thereby receiving credits on their utility bills for their share of the energy produced. A key feature of the program is its prioritization of subscriptions for low-income customers and environmental justice communities. The Department of Environmental Protection is responsible for the establishment, implementation, and regulation of this new initiative, which will take effect 180 days after becoming law.
