The state of New York is charging ahead (pun intended!) with vehicle electrification. ⚡
Gov. Kathy Hochul announced an additional $30 million for New Yorkers to purchase or lease new electric vehicles through the state’s Drive Clean Rebate program.
This program offers rebates ranging from $500 to $2,000The announcement also included an expansion of the Charge Ready NY 2.0 program, increasing incentives for installing EV chargers to $3,000 per port, or $4,000 in disadvantaged communities.
Tired: How much can utilities charge customers?
Wired: How much value can utilities create for customers?

Can data center growth be done sustainably? 🤔
The answer’s “Yes,” but only if utilities take advantage of a key tool in their arsenal. Check out a sneak peek of this week’s Grid Mod Pod episode to find out what that tool is.
@PacifiCorp These initiatives aim to ensure reliability and low-cost electric service, accommodating the diverse energy policies of the states PacifiCorp serves. Learn more in @EnergyStorageNW: https://t.co/jEqxJG4L4u
AEIC member company @PacifiCorp has submitted its 2025 Integrated Resource Plan, which identifies a least-cost and least-risk portfolio of energy generation resources, considering varying state jurisdiction requirements.
@PacifiCorp The plan highlights investments in transmission infrastructure, renewable solar and wind resources, energy storage, conversion of coal units to natural gas, demand response and energy efficiency programs, and carbon capture technology.
