The MTA’s $1.1 billion plans to buy 500 new electric buses could be derailed unless New York state’s utility regulator cuts the authority slack on its electric bill, transit officials warned.

But the leading “solution” on the table “would result in far higher cost to operate an electrified fleet when compared to the MTA’s current predominantly diesel and gas vehicles,” the authority warned. New York’s proposal, in contrast, would only provide a discount 12% of the time and at significantly lower rates, transit officials said. To achieve those discounts, the MTA would be forced to pay a hefty price to develop “sophisticated energy management capability,” it said.
