New York Power Authority initially proposed tripling its charges for hydropower over a four-year period. This proposal was scrapped after opposition from Governor Kathy Hochul, customer advocacy groups, and local governments. The current proposal, which Hochul approved in March, involves a much lower increase and forgives the Power Authority's debt.
