This roundtable will convene participants from Cornell, SUNY Binghamton, CATF, New York State, and key external partners to review the current status of the Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability funded joint modeling project and its ongoing sensitivity analyses. The discussion will focus on interpreting recent scenario outputs—including projected emissions trajectories, system reliability outcomes under long‑term weather and climate conditions, and comparative energy cost implications. Participants will work collaboratively to identify and refine the set of priority scenarios the model should evaluate next to explore viable pathways for New York’s decarbonization goals given recent policy changes. We will identify public processes where the model's insights can help the state develop effective policies and programs and ways to communicate our results with the public. The session aims to produce a clear, shared direction for the next phase of modeling and to strengthen coordination across institutions engaged in long‑term energy system planning.
