In addition, NYSERDA is seeking
approval from the Public Service
Commission to work with the
department of public service and
LIPA to identify the benefits of a more
coordinated statewide PV incentive
program. NYSERDA and LIPA are
currently offering separate solar
incentive programs.
LIPA COO, John McMahon,
confirmed that the authority had
secured additional funds for its Solar
Pioneer program. "These funds will
enable LIPA to re-open its residential
solar rebate program, making solar
more affordable to our customers
while sustaining a growing clean
energy economy on Long Island
and helping to further advance our
goals under the governor's NY-Sun
initiative," he added.
