Project Details

The largest power generator in New York City (NYC) – Ravenswood Generating Station – represents 20% of the city’s generation capacity. For years, The NYC-Environmental Justice Alliance (NYC-EJA) has led efforts pushing for cleaner energy in NYC, including transitioning this power station. Thanks to their community mobilization it was announced in 2023 that Ravenswood will transition from fossil fuels to become the nation’s first major 100% clean energy-sourced power plant. This however is an active, ongoing emissions reduction campaign that still requires support.
