NYISO Letter to Gov Agencies July 2 2023

Letter to New York State Public Service Commission, Department of Environmental Conservation, governor, and Research and Development Authority. New York Independent System Operator’s (NYISO) failure to prepare New York’s grid for a clean energy future inhibits climate progress, fails to prioritize affordability, and harms New Yorkers’ health and pocketbooks. This letter urges the critically evaluation of NYISO’s statements and history of inaction in the wake of the misleading NYISO Power Trends summary report and press release and to consider next steps to reduce these obstacles.
