New Yorkers for Clean Power

06/23/2026

📆 🍻 BESS & BEERS: Tuesday, July 14 from 6:00 P.M. - 8:00 P.M.

Join us at Tap Room in Patchogue to learn more about the role Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) can play in building a cleaner, more reliable energy future for Long Island and New York.

Together, community members, advocates, and energy experts will discuss how battery storage supports grid reliability, helps integrate renewable energy onto the grid, reduces reliance on polluting peaker plants, and strengthens local resiliency during periods of high energy demand.

Attendees will also hear from industry and safety experts about how BESS projects are designed, regulated, and safely operated in communities across New York.

Speakers include Paul Rogers, Co-Founder of the Energy Safety Response Group and retired FDNY Lieutenant, and Dr. Jeffery Seidman of Vassar College.

🍻Come grab a beer and join in on an important conversation about clean energy transition on Long Island.

This is our opportunity to tell the Public Service Commission, NY’s utility regulator, that we support the 100-foot rule repeal!

For decades, New Yorkers have been forced to pay for new gas pipe hook-ups through extra charges on our bills. These extra charges are driving up everyone’s energy bills and costing us $600 million every year. The 100-foot rule repeal ends these extra charges to save New Yorkers money and stop lining the pockets of gas utility shareholders!

The 100-foot rule repeal was passed and signed into law last year! It goes into effect later this year. Draft regulations were just released and the Public Service Commission is collecting public comments .

Comments are due June 26 — send yours now!

A new report from confirms what communities across New York have been experiencing for years: warehouse expansion is concentrating diesel truck pollution across the state in neighborhoods that are already overburdened.

Broadly, disadvantaged communities cover only 8% of New York State but contain 51% of its warehouses,

More than 13,000 New York children are diagnosed with asthma linked to NOx pollution annually and has resulted in almost $6 billion in health damages and more than 35,000 lost work days this year alone.

Theres still time! Urge New York leaders to address the harms caused by mega-warehouses and advance solutions that reduce pollution, protect public health, and ensure communities are no longer expected to bear an unfair share of the burden.

⏰ Time is running out.

The New York legislative session ends this week, and lawmakers still have an opportunity to advance two important bills that support cleaner air, healthier communities, and climate action:

✅ Clean Deliveries Act (S.1180C/A.3575C)
✅ C-PACE for Resiliency (S.1335B/A.5404B)

The Clean Deliveries Act would help reduce pollution from mega-warehouses in communities across NYS burdened by poor air quality, while C-PACE for Resiliency would expand access to financing for energy, water, and resilience improvements in buildings across New York.

Take action today by sending a letter to Assembly Speaker Heastie and Senate Majority Leader Stewart-Cousins urging them to bring these bills to the floor for a vote.

📣 Double your impact by making a quick phone call, too.

New Yorkers deserve clean air, healthier neighborhoods, and continued progress on climate solutions. Let's make these final days of session count.

🌞 Advocates, community members, and lawmakers came together to support the ASAP Act today at the Capitol steps!

This legislation would help New York build more affordable, reliable clean energy faster.

The ASAP Act would:

⚡ Expand rooftop and community solar across New York
⚡ Modernize outdated utility interconnection processes
⚡ Continue the successful NY-Sun program
⚡ Lower costs and shorten timelines for clean energy projects

The result? Cleaner air, lower energy bills, stronger local economies, and thousands of good-paying jobs across the state.

Albany has the chance to push NY towards energy affordability and stability, away from volatile fossil fuel dependence.
