NY State Energy Plan: Delayed Action for NYC
Update: 2025-12-17
Description
New York States new energy plan, aiming to meet power needs for the next fifteen years, includes continued reliance on fossil fuels, raising concerns for New York Citys green energy goals. The plan diverges from the states Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, favoring an all of the above energy strategy. This approach could lead to longer operation of gas-fired power plants in the city, making it harder for large buildings to reduce carbon emissions and keeping overall emissions higher than targets. The states grid operator has warned of potential brownouts and blackouts in New York City as early as next summer, with the city accusing the state of not finding a solution to ensure sufficient power and meet climate goals.
