Clean Energy Calendar

Join New York policymakers, regulators, leading developers, IPPs, utilities, and key financiers for a comprehensive survey of the critical challenges impacting the Empire State’s energy landscape and shaping finance and development strategies in the drive to decarbonize.

Infocast’s New York Energy Summit returns to Albany in April 2026 with a remarkable roster of energy sector leaders to discuss the policy landscape and explore emerging opportunities on the path to achieving the state’s ambitious CES targets.

New York has become one of the most dynamic energy markets in the US, with tremendous opportunities in the planning, developing, financing, and construction of the new clean energy and transmission assets necessary to keep up with the state’s load growth and maintain resource adequacy. As power prices rise and planned retirements are reconsidered, questions regarding the interplay of state and federal policy, particularly the effects of the OBBBA on tax incentives, become top of mind for energy stakeholders. Only those keeping up with the latest developments in this rapidly evolving environment will be properly positioned to seize the very best opportunities in the Empire State.

This meeting is designed to let you hear the latest from a definitive group of New York policymakers, regulators, active developers, independent power producers, utility executives, and financiers. They will provide the best available discussion of the policies, plans, initiatives, opportunities and obstacles that will shape New York’s energy landscape in 2026 and beyond.

In 2019, New York made bold, legally binding commitments to take on the climate crisis, but what happens if we were to backtrack?

As pressure mounts to weaken or delay key climate policies, this teach-in will explain what’s actually at stake for New Yorkers. We will discuss rising energy costs, public health issues, and environmental justice concerns, and explore how rolling back climate protections doesn’t just slow progress, but deepens our reliance on fossil fuels and other polluting technologies, locking us into decades of price volatility and putting our most vulnerable communities’ health at risk and subjecting us to skyrocketing bills.

Join experts Laura Haight, Policy Advisor, Partnership for Policy Integrity, Eric Walker, Energy Justice Senior Policy Manager, WE ACT for Environmental Justice and Liz Moran, New York Policy Advocate, EarthJustice, for a conversation to better understand the consequences of climate law rollbacks. New York can’t afford to lose momentum. Join us to understand why.

• Liz Moran, New York Policy Advocate, EarthJustice
