New York’s electric grid is under heavy strain as this heat wave drives up energy demand. We’re asking New Yorkers to voluntarily conserve power by setting your A/C between 75–78°, avoiding unnecessary appliance use, and turning off lights and electronics when they’re not needed. These small steps can help prevent outages, keep the power on, and protect the most vulnerable members of our communities. My team is coordinating with Con Edison, NYISO, and New York City leaders to reduce demand across the grid.

This Commission will find ways for our city to work smarter, faster, and more effectively for working people. 

New Yorkers deserve a city government as careful with their money as they are.

Here's a surprise: The final state budget appropriates $14.9B for the Essential Plan. That's an increase of $1.8B or 14% from last year, even though the program will be covering 434,000 fewer people come July.
