N.Y. Gen. Bus. Law § 399-yyyy — Macrocell renewable energy reporting is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
* § 399-yyyy. Macrocell renewable energy reporting. 1. Upon the twelfth month after the effective date of this section, the wireless service industry shall collaborate on and issue a white paper reporting on current and future efforts to pursue renewable energy at macrocell sites with the report delivered to the governor, the speaker of the assembly, the temporary president of the senate, and the chair of the senate energy and telecommunications committee and the assembly corporations, authorities and commissions committee. The report shall include, but need not be limited to, consideration of the following issues:
(a) the company's existing and future investments in renewable energy sources, as corporations generally and at macrocell sites specifically;
(b) the energy demands of existing macrocell sites including any anticipated increases to demand at such sites;
(c) the benefits and challenges of relying on renewable energy to provision wireless service;
(d) potential impacts to existing backup power sources; and
(e) estimated costs relating to using renewable energy to power macrocell sites.
2. For purposes of this section, a "macrocell" is a cell in a mobile phone network that provides radio coverage served by a high-power cell site (tower, antenna or mast). The "wireless service industry" shall include wireless carriers, tower companies, and their trade associations that offer service to New York state customers.
