In Progress: DEC's 2023 regulatory agenda includes 6 NYCRR Part 495, "Sulfur Hexafluoride Standards and Reporting," which is in the pre-proposal stage.
Page 244: "DEC should adopt regulations to reduce SF6 emissions and establish a timeline for phasing out new SF6 equipment. New York should also collaborate with other U.S. Climate Alliance states to align policies across the country to drive a market shift toward SF6 alternative technologies nationwide. This will help New York’s power grid remain one of the cleanest, lowest emission grids in the country."
