Environmental Justice Advocates in New York City Fault Statewide Plan for Renewable Energy Development
The New York Power Authority has proposed 40 new renewable energy projects, but only one is in New York City. Advocates say that could delay the closure of natural gas “peaker plants.”
In the lead up to the New York Power Authority’s vote on its draft Renewables Strategic Plan this month, New York City environmental justice communities and clean power advocates are calling for more generating capacity for renewable energy over a shorter time frame.
