— Jennifer Lewke (@WHEC_JLewke) November 12, 2025According to the Albany Times Union, the state agreed in a court filing to delay the All-Electric Buildings Act until a federal appellate court makes a final decision about whether the law can stand.
The law was set to go into effect on Jan. 1, 2026. According to the state, electric buildings are less expensive to build and can be cheaper to run long term.
News10NBC previously spoke to Jim Barbato, who’s company, Pridemark Homes, is building new homes in Webster, said he disagrees, citing rising costs due to increased demand.

In October, News10NBC Investigative Reporter Jennifer Lewke asked Gov. Kathy Hochul if she planned on delaying the all-electric act.
“We just received correspondence from some upstate members of the legislature so we’re looking at that seriously….We have made some accommodations in the past, like the electric buses, we had to delay that some time because there’s not enough electric buses being built so, I’m going to look at this with a very realistic approach and do what I can because my number one focus is affordability right now because New Yorkers are suffering too much,” said Hochul.
