“It is madness to wait any longer to install solar power for clean renewable energy on NYC buildings. “The climate crisis is truly at a breaking point and necessitates investments in solutions faster than we ever have before,” said Council Member Sandy Nurse. The bill is supported by Climate Jobs New York and Climate Works for All. The City can address environmental injustices by prioritizing investments in disadvantaged communities. NYC can catalyze good union labor jobs by leveraging federal opportunities to fund solar. The City must be aggressive in urgently and equitably meeting our climate goals. The bill builds on and codifies previous goals outlined in OneNYC and again in the latest PlaNYC, to ensure the administration is on track to meet the city’s clean energy goals. The bill was introduced just in time for Climate Week NYC, and demonstrates the Council’s clear commitment to addressing the climate crisis and investing in a just and clean energy future. The bill mandates a goal of 100 Megawatts (MW) on city-owned buildings by 2025, and expands the target to 150MW on buildings and other public properties by 2030.
