 AN ACT to amend the economic development law, in relation to certain

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

 1 Section 1. The economic development law is amended by adding a new
 2 section 107 to read as follows:
 3 § 107. Renewable energy and transmission siting considerations. Any
 4 contract for new construction projects entered into, overseen, or
 5 enforced by the department or the empire state development corporation
 6 with a value of greater than or equal to five million dollars in state
 7 funding participation shall include, to the greatest extent feasible,
 8 siting of renewable energy systems as defined in section sixty-six-p of
 9 the public service law, qualified energy storage systems as defined in
 10 section seventy-four of the public service law, or electric major utili-
 11 ty transmission facilities as defined in section one hundred twenty of
 12 the public service law within the terms of construction of such project.

 14 with the New York state energy research and development authority, or
 15 any other relevant agency or authority when considering the siting of
 16 qualified energy storage systems, renewable energy systems and electric
 17 major utility transmission facilities. If such a project cannot accommo-
 18 date the siting of renewable energy systems, electric major utility
 19 transmission facilities, or a qualified energy storage system, the
 20 department or the empire state development corporation shall issue a
 21 brief determination in writing including a description of the reasons
 22 for the decision.
 23 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
