New York City’s most polluting fossil fuel plants can retire by 2030 thanks to renewables, storage

In a new study by Strategen Consulting, commissioned by a collection of environmental justice groups called PEAK Coalition, around 5.6GW of rooftop solar, 3GW of offshore wind, 5,400GWh of energy efficiency measures and 4,200MW of energy storage could fulfil the role of the city’s entire fleet by 2030. PEAK Coalition's membership includes grassroots organisation UPROSE, community development group The POINT CDC, New York City Environmental Justice Alliance (NYC-EJA), New York Lawyers for the Public Interest (NYLPI), and Clean Energy Group (CEG).
