PowerUp NYC Community Town Hall (In-Person)

Last summer, local New Yorkers joined our Community Town Halls to learn how the City is planning for an equitable transition away from fossil fuels to clean and reliable energy. Join us on December 1 at our next Community Town Hall to hear an update on our energy research and planning, ask questions, and share your ideas on how the City can support your neighborhood.

What is PowerUp NYC?

PowerUp NYC is a collaborative energy planning study that will accelerate City government action to clean up our air, make energy bills more affordable, and create opportunities for local community energy. Through PowerUp NYC, MOCEJ is working with NYC residents, community leaders, and energy experts to develop strategies City government will advance in the next four years to achieve an equitable transition to clean energy by 2050.

To learn more about the energy transition, check out our PowerUp NYC Primer! In it, you’ll find answers to questions like: What does it mean to electrify a building? What are the challenges to cleaning up our transportation system? How does the electric grid work? The Primer is one example of the City’s efforts to democratize energy information and ensure that all NYC residents have the tools they need to help shape our energy transition.

How can I get involved?

Join our in-person Community Town Hall on December 1 from 6-8:30pm at NYU – 370 Jay Street, 12th Fl, Brooklyn, NY 11201 to learn about the City’s research and planning for an equitable energy transition, and to share YOUR experience with NYC’s energy systems and what improvements you’d like to see. All are welcome; no energy knowledge required!

If you want even more detail about the City’s energy research, join our two virtual technical sessions the following week for a deep dive on greening the grid and electrifying our buildings and vehicles. There will be time for attendees to ask questions and provide feedback.
