Small Natural Gas Power Plants
NYPA is planning to cease fossil generation at its small natural gas power plants by 2030, as long as reliability and environmental conditions are met.
NYPA has begun work related to its closure plan, which it will publish in May 2025. NYPA is also considering options for renewable energy or energy storage at these sites. We will continue to have robust engagement with affected communities and stakeholders as part of the decision-making process relating to individual plant closures.
