Nearly 200 households and businesses will benefit from the facility in Brooklyn

New York State Public Service Commission has approved two new initiatives to reduce the region’s carbon footprint

A new programme aims to provide no-cost community solar to 10,000 low-income people

The move marks the first step toward the state’s goal of installing 2.4GW of offshore wind by 2030

The projects are expected to reduce emissions by more than 2,000 metric tons over the next five years

More than 151,000 workers are now employed in low carbon and renewable roles across the state

The state has set a target to install 1.5GW of storage by 2025

They will work together to develop strategies and solutions for the development of the clean energy resource

It will provide a $4,000 (£3,046) rebate per charging port for public or private employers, building owners, municipalities and non-profit organisations

The facility is already operational and benefitting 373 households and a local church
