The NY Heat Act, supported by activists, is designed to curb the rise in energy bills for New Yorkers by limiting the expansion of gas infrastructure. Activists, including students and professionals, express concerns about the burden of rising utility bills, with many residents spending over 6% of their income on essential services. Recent significant rate hikes from utility companies like Con Edison and National Grid have been attributed to infrastructure investments for fossil fuels. Environmentalists argue that these investments contradict the state’s long-term goals to phase out fossil fuels, pushing for legislative change through the NY Heat Act.
The NY Heat Act aims to prevent rising energy costs by limiting gas infrastructure expansion, allowing New Yorkers to save on heating bills and utility costs.
Supporters highlight how the legislation will protect utility customers from significant rate increases as fossil fuel infrastructure is phased out in New York.
