(Bloomberg) -- New York is poised to pass its own version of the Green New Deal with a climate bill that will more than triple the state’s solar capacity and aggressively promote development of offshore wind farms.

The legislation calls for boosting the amount of solar power in the state to 6 gigawatts by 2025, from about 1.7 gigawatts currently. It calls for 9 gigawatts of offshore wind generation by 2035. None of the state’s power currently comes from offshore wind.

The measure offers a blueprint for regulators that could lead to stricter pollution limits for power plants and incentives to phase out oil and natural gas from home heating systems, according to Miles Farmer, a senior attorney at the Natural Resources Defense Council. It’s expected to be taken up by the state legislature this week.

“It’s definitely the most progressive bill that we’ve seen anywhere,’’ Farmer said in an interview.

The bill codifies New York’s goal of having zero carbon emissions in the electricity sector by 2040 and reducing economy-wide emissions 85% by 2050. In remarks on the radio program The Capitol Pressroom on WCNY, Governor Andrew Cuomo called the bill “the most aggressive in the country.”

The Green New Deal is the name adopted for a climate-change agenda by Democrats led by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts in a bid to dramatically shift the U.S. away from fossil fuels and other sources of the emissions that cause global warming.

“This legislation mandates enough local solar to power 1 million households by 2025,” Sean Gallagher, vice president of state affairs for the Solar Energy Industries Association, said in a statement. ‘This legislation also establishes one of the most aggressive clean energy mandates in the country.’
