Not exact matches

While local governments have informally hashed out a number of agreements over the years, counties across the state were required this year to formally convene panels to explore efficiencies, a process that resulted in $ 200 million in savings from 34 counties, roughly half of those in the state, Cuomo said.

As supercritical technology becomes more mainstream and power generators normally improve on the efficiency of even their oldest plants over the course of operations, the loophole allows plants requesting CDM credits to exaggerate the calculated emissions avoided by millions of tons of CO2 - equivalent gases, the panel warns.

The researchers have focused on white solar panels, not just because of the versatility of the color, but because white solar panels would stay cooler, which boosts their efficiency, and using them over large sections like the roof would keep the buildings themselves cooler, which would reduce the energy demand of cooling buildings.

The idea is that PACE programs help home and business owners pay for the upfront costs of green initiatives, such as solar panels or energy efficiency retrofits, which the property owner then pays back through increased property taxes by a set rate over about 20 years.
