N.Y. Senate Supports Requiring Renewable Energy Cell Towers by 2031

The New York Senate approved a wireless tower bill that would require cellphone companies and third-party infrastructure firms to submit plans for powering their towers with 100% renewable energy by 2031. The Senate voted 41-19 for S-4305 on Wednesday. The Assembly will next consider the bill, which cleared the Senate Telecom Committee in January (see 2401230028). Senators approved the bill last year, but the Assembly never addressed it.
