NYISO now predicts declining load growth over the next 10 years, where economic growth is offset by #EnergyEfficiency and BTM #RenewableEnergyhttps://af.reuters.com/article/commoditiesNews/idAFL1N1SA1MV …

True. From what I've seen, NYISO has advocated for NY to enforce the decarbonization goals with a carbon tax, but the study they commissioned only looked at 2025, and was confined to the wholesale market, not the full economy.
NYISO proposes Carbon tax only on electricity. That will raise retail cost of electricity, relative to retail cost of fossil fuels, and thus discourage Beneficial Electrification by making it more expensive.
