Ultimately the problem is that New York has no comprehensive energy plan.  The Climate Act Scoping Plan is just a list of technologies that describe an electric system that is zero-emissions.  However, there is no feasibility study that shows how it will work nor has the Hochul Administration reconciled the differences between the Scoping Plan and NYISO resource outlooks.  As it stands now, the Administration plan is to build as many wind and solar facilities as possible and hope someone works out how they are supposed to be integrated into the electric system.  When that does not work, I predict the NYISO will be blamed.
