 STATE OF NEW YORK

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN SENATE

 March 4, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. COMRIE -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Energy and Telecommuni-
 cations

 AN ACT to amend the public service law, in relation to creating an inte-
 grated energy system planning

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Legislative findings. 1. Energy market, resource, climate,
 2 and technology trends, including the proliferation of distributed energy
 3 resources, energy efficiency and load flexibility, transportation elec-
 4 trification, heating electrification, and advanced transmission technol-
 5 ogies are causing simultaneous impacts, and providing benefits, on both
 6 the gas and electric systems across pipelines, generation, transmission,
 7 and distribution. If planning processes do not evolve to accommodate
 8 such interactions and the benefits of advanced energy technologies, New
 9 York utilities may be at risk of overinvesting in infrastructure, and
 10 ratepayers may be at risk of paying for unnecessary infrastructure.
 11 2. Such integrated energy system planning shall include, but not be
 12 limited to:
 13 (a) maintaining affordability amid significant pressure to modernize
 14 and replace aging infrastructure; enhancing reliability and resilience
 15 to prepare for extreme weather; and achieving New York's clean energy
 16 and climate-related goals. New York state needs to find new ways to
 17 optimize its planning and investments, and identify the least-cost way
 18 to serve customers when designing any given project;
 19 (b) developing new process, forecasting, and modeling innovations in
 20 utility planning to allow for optimization across gas resources, gas
 21 transmission, gas distribution, electric generation, electric trans-
 22 mission, electric distribution, and distributed energy resources; and
 23 (c) capitalizing on such innovations and preventing unnecessary dupli-
 24 cation of energy infrastructure. New York needs to consolidate its vari-

 1 ous siloed planning processes and align forecasts, assumptions,
 2 programs, plans, and other initiatives across gas, generation, trans-
 3 mission, distribution, and distributed resource plans.
 4 § 2. The public service law is amended by adding a new section 66-x to
 5 read as follows:
 6 § 66-x. Integrated energy system planning. 1. For the purposes of
 7 this section, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
 8 (a) "Combination corporation" means an investor-owned public service
 9 company that is both an electric corporation and a gas corporation that
 10 serves more than one hundred thousand retail customers with either gas
 11 or electric service, or both.
 12 (b) "Grid flexibility" means the grid's ability to shift either demand
 13 or supply to meet bulk power system and/or local distribution needs in
 14 response to changing grid conditions and prices in order to integrate
 15 increased renewable energy supply, improve reliability, lower energy
 16 costs, and reduce environmental impacts by decreasing net system peak o
