From the above...

Quick Facts
New York law requires the state to generate 70% of its electricity from renewable resources by 2030. In 2023, New York ranked third among the states for generating the most electricity from renewables.

Nuclear power accounted for almost 22% of New York’s utility-scale net generation in 2023, down from 34% in 2019 after the Indian Point nuclear power plant, one of the state’s four nuclear power plants, shut down.

In 2023, New York was the third-largest producer of hydropower in the nation, after Washington and California.

New York consumes less total energy per capita than all but one other state, Rhode Island. However, New York relies on energy supplies from other states and Canada to meet more than four-fifths of its total energy needs.

New York ranked among the five states in 2022 with the lowest per capita energy-related carbon dioxide emissions.
