New Yorkers face rapidly-rising energy costs and carbon emissions from an ineffective market, aging infrastructure, and growth. Addressing our energy challenge will require a two-pronged strategy of increasing our sources of clean supply and lowering our demand. We will encourage the addition of new, clean power plants, promote repowerings of our most inefficient plants, and build a market for renewable energies. To reduce demand, we will target our largest energy consumers and accelerate energy efficiency upgrades. Together, these strategies will produce a reliable, affordable, and environmentally sustainable energy network for New York City.
