New York City has been without a municipal energy planning function for many years. The present mayoral administration has realized the importance of this aspect of our infrastructure and initiated a planning process through an inter-agency task force.  At our February meeting we will hear from the Task Force chair how the work has been defined, what issues have been at the forefront of consideration, what recommendations are emerging, and what the future of city energy planning and policy looks like.  There will be ample time allotted for discussion. 

 

The Task Force expects to be releasing its final report shortly.  It focuses primarily on the city’s electrical needs and resources.  Come and get an inside view of this process, learn how to obtain the report and comment during the public comment period, and discuss how the Task Force and its work will be integrated with other planning initiatives and outreach our professional community to provide long-term guidance for the City.
