As part of NYCHA’s effort to comply with the Climate Mobilization Act (also known as Local Law 97), #NYCHA’s Sustainability Agenda maps out how the Authority will move away from fossil fuels by adapting alternative forms of energy such as heat pumps, hydronic conversions, and geothermal systems. The agenda also explains NYCHA’s goal to install 30 megawatts of solar by 2026, enough to power approximately 8,000-8,500 homes. Beyond the positive environmental impact, @NYCHAgram’s move to renewable energy also is creating training and job opportunities for residents. Solar One (@solaronenyc) has trained residents through its Green Workforce Program, and the HOPE Program (@the_hope_program) has programs like Sustainable South Bronx (@sustainablesouthbx) to prepare people to work in green infrastructure. 288 NYCHA residents have been hired through their Energy Performance Contract projects, and over 40 residents have been trained for Solar programs thus far.
