other mechanisms to: (1) foster and encourage the orderly and expedient

siting and development of renewable energy facilities and qualified

state to meet CLCPA targets as defined in subdivision one of section one

hundred thirty-seven of article eight of the public service law; (2)

incentivize the re-use of previously developed sites for renewable

energy facilities and qualified energy storage systems to protect the
