The sponsor's argument

Why Michael Gianaris says this is needed

As the New York Power Authority implements the Build Public Renewables provisions from the FY2024 budget, various stakeholders inside and outside of government are interested in seeing additional transparency measures.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
