Therese Blum, CNY Energy Efficiency, Julie Hawkins, Clean Energy Lead Tim Monahan, EV Make Ready presented a workshop “National Grid Clean Energy Programs” on Dec, 13, 2024 in New York.

During the event elected officials and policy innovators on building electrification and clean buildings policies discussed opportunities, challenges, policies, and success stories to advance building electrification policies for existing buildings in New York.

The burning of fossil gas and oil in homes and buildings significantly worsens indoor air pollution and harms public health. In New York State, buildings account for one-third of greenhouse gas emissions. To achieve our climate goals, it's crucial to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels in buildings swiftly.

Elected Officials to Protect America—New York is a statewide, non-partisan network of current and former New York State elected officials committed to protecting a healthy and prosperous environment for our communities. EOPA’s efforts began in New York State where we organized over a thousand elected officials to demand that Governor Cuomo ban fracking. Our foundational letter, upon which our core membership was formed, asked the then-Governor to maintain the moratorium on fracking until and unless proper studies had proven its safety for all New York citizens. Since the fracking ban was established in 2014, EOPA-New York has worked with elected officials across the state on fossil-fuel divestment, on funding for renewables, the Transportation and Climate Initiative, electrification of buildings, offshore wind power, and the Climate Action Plan.
