The climate crisis won’t wait for Trump to leave office. But neither will we. Now, New York must lead the way. By kickstarting the era of public renewables.

Let's goooooooo! Despite an onslaught of propaganda from the fossil fuel industry and a Governor who is hellbent on implementing Trump's climate arson agenda, our public power movement is pushing New York forward.

PowerNYC, the public renewable energy developer we proposed for the City of New York, would deliver affordability, stability, and climate leadership in a time of overlapping crises. More from @politico:
ALT THE CASE FOR POWER NYC: If New York City had its own public renewables developer, it could save ratepayers at least hundreds of millions of dollars a year on energy costs, according to a new report from Public Renewables Project and the Climate and Community Institute. PowerNYC could help eliminate the city's continued dependence on local fossil fuel generation," the report said. "Public development creates two kinds of assets that otherwise would not exist: productive infrastructure and financial assets backed by the revenues that infrastructure generates." A public power developer could expand the number of clean energy projects in New York City by coordinating and funding projects that otherwise wouldn't get built - particularly distributed batteries and solar, and thermal energy networks. Ratepayers in New York City pay an estimated 35-40% of statewide costs associated with the Clean Energy Standard, but downstate development of renewable energy has been lacking. New York City does

No one is coming to save New York City from our impending energy crisis, so we must take matters into our own hands.
A new report from @cplusci, @PubRenewables, and @publicpowerny shows us the way.

Everywhere I’ve been across the state, New Yorkers are ready for public power.
Here in NYC we can build an affordable, reliable, renewable energy for ourselves.
No more waiting on corporate utilities — if they can’t do it, City government will! hellgatenyc.com/renewables-p…

Creating a public renewable energy developer in NYC wouldn't just help fight climate change—it would also help fix our utility affordability crisis.
This type of coordinated planning and investment around large, thorny problems is what govt is for.

What can NYC do about climate and utility affordability?
The answer is here: PowerNYC Development Corporation. Read the new report ⬇️
⚡ NEW: A public renewable energy developer would deliver substantial economic and reliability benefits for New York City, including cost savings of at least $170 million per year. Read our research with @publicpowerny and @PubRenewables at the link below.
New Yorkers are facing an energy crisis. Mayor Mamdani can help solve it.
Our new report shows the public sector doesn’t just have a role to play — it has an opportunity to lead. Public power means a more affordable, reliable, sustainable New York. PowerNYC can build it.

New York is facing a fossil-fueled energy crisis. But the power is still in our hands. ⚡️
With public renewables, New York can guarantee the affordable, reliable, union built, pollution-free energy we need more than ever.
Tell Governor Hochul to build public renewables! ⬇️

It was a pleasure to meet with Ithaca Mayor @RGC_NYS , members of the Ithaca Common Council, and my dear friend @AMKelles to discuss the importance of Public Power.
From upstate to downstate and from NYSEG to ConEd, New Yorkers are sick and tired of paying skyrocketing utility bills. Let’s lower those prices together!
All across the state, New Yorkers are ready to take back their power! ⚡️
Our corporate energy system has brought years of rising utility bills, increasing blackouts, and dependence on dirty energy. Public power will make sure the system is putting New Yorkers’ needs first.
This fight is just getting started, but you can take action right now to build public power!
Send a letter right now demanding that New York build publicly owned renewable energy to cut bills, prevent blackouts, and create good union jobs: bit.ly/buildpublicpower
Thank you to @climatejobsny for inviting us to tour the incredible Steamfitters 638 and IBEW Local 3 training centers this week!
Organized labor has the knowledge, skill, and vision to lead the just transition New York needs. The future is in good hands.

I hear the same problems from my constituents in Bed-Stuy as I heard from the people of Rochester, Syracuse, and Ithaca: our energy bills are too damn high!
Luckily we’re doing something about it, and together New Yorkers can fight back to secure cheap, clean, and reliable energy ⚡️
From Ridgewood to Rochester, New Yorkers are fighting back against the corporate energy system driving up our bills.
Publicly owned renewable utilities are the future. Join @OsseChi and thousands of New Yorkers to demand public power! ⚡️ bit.ly/buildpublicpower

A better utility model already exists--public power can prioritize affordable, reliable service and won't sacrifice ratepayers to deliver large returns for shareholders (because there are none!)

From Brooklyn to Rochester, New Yorkers are fired up and ready for Public Power ⚡️
Thank you to @rocDSA and @MetroJustice, we’ll be back soon 🛠️

For corporate utilities like ConEd, profits for their 🤑investors🤑 are more important than power for Brooklynites on dialysis.
Like @OsseChi says, our power should be owned by us. Demand public renewables instead of corporations controlling our energy: bit.ly/buildpublicpower
No one should have to choose between a $1,000 bill and hot water for their kids. Public renewable energy is how we make our energy system work for us instead of ripping us off.
Tell our leaders that New Yorkers need them to build public renewables! bit.ly/buildpublicpower

As a New Yorker, your electric bill is the 3rd highest in the country —and it’s going up. Why? Because of corporate utilities like ConEd.
It’s time to make our energy grid responsive to all of us. Public power is how we do it. bit.ly/buildpublicpower
