"Expanding clean energy is about building a city where every New Yorker can actually live, breathe, and thrive. We're pushing for creative, community-driven ways to cut emissions while bringing down the cost of energy."
"As we power ahead with these efforts alongside climate education, we're empowering our young learners to see themselves as responsible stewards of their generation while equipping our schools with the tools to lead the way."
"The huge undertaking to transform the city's schools into hubs of clean energy stemmed from a partnership between NYC Public Schools and the Department of Citywide Administrative Services, tasked with leading the city's charge to reduce its carbon footprint."
The NYC Solar Schools Program has successfully installed solar panels at 130 public schools, generating 27.5 megawatts of renewable energy. The initiative aims to create a sustainable environment for all New Yorkers. An additional 86 solar projects are planned, expected to add 17.2 megawatts of capacity. This effort is a collaboration between NYC Public Schools, the Department of Citywide Administrative Services, and the New York Power Authority, focusing on reducing emissions and empowering students in climate education.
