Governor's Office
Gov. Kathy Hochul at the bill signing for Legislation A.10493/S.9422 in June 2022. The bill requires the state's largest utility companies to design at least one thermal energy network project.
“Our state should be a leader in clean energy creation. Instead, because of government flip-flopping and cowardice, we cannot even stick to a plan of action.”
Supporters of the NY Heat Act say it’s a solution to New Yorkers’ rising energy bills. The legislation would curb the expansion of gas infrastructure and stop utility customers from picking up the hefty tab.
