Energy

Moving toward a clean energy future

NYC has the dirtiest energy grid within the state because a significant amount of NYC’s energy comes from power plants located in the city that largely rely on fossil fuels. Greening our energy grid requires us to significantly ramp up renewable energy generation, increase transmission capacity to deliver renewable energy to NYC, and phase out fossil fuels. NYC has also set ambitious targets to reach 1,000 MW of solar power by 2030 and 100% clean energy by 2040. New York State aims to add 9,000 megawatts (MW) of offshore wind by 2035, which will be supported through NYC initiatives to train a diverse talent pool and build a new world-class offshore wind port in South Brooklyn.
