PLANYC FAQ
OLDER: Energy - By 2030, nearly 70% of our power plants will be more than 50 years old. Older plants use up to 35% more fossil fuels, raising energy bills for New Yorkers and harming the environment. By 2030, demand could increase by more than 25% and our century-old distribution system will be further strained. With limited land available to build new power plants, our challenge is to find a new approach to improve the City's long-term energy outlook.
