NYC’s electric grid is under growing strain, and we’re not paying nearly enough attention. Demand is rising. Our infrastructure is aging. Extreme weather is becoming more frequent. The result: NYers are paying ever more for electricity. The risk of outages is growing. And we are far behind on the clean energy transition. My office is issuing a call to address this, in part with a large-scale buildout of solar and battery infrastructure across the five boroughs. City-owned sites alone have an estimated 400 MW of battery-storage potential—enough to make our grid far more resilient and reduce our dependence on outside power. Here’s what NYC must do now to build a cleaner, more affordable, and more reliable energy system. 🧵
