California is doing it. Texas is doing it (without major targets).
New York has a bunch of issues that are stalling renewables buildout. Some of them are shared by most other ISOs – a cautious interconnection process, massive grid congestion, the market design push-and-pull between keeping power prices low and stable (for consumers) vs. making them attractive for investors and developers.
But it has a bunch of unique issues too – some of the highest land prices in the world, strict local permitting and labor laws that push up the cost of building stuff, and a ton of community backlash to certain projects. None of these are inherently negative, they're just facts.
So the state is stuck between a rock and hard place (IMO).
Interesting documentary.
