Mayor Eric Adams along with Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) Commissioner Dawn Pinnock announced the expansion of the Demand Response program to reduce city energy emissions during hotter months.
On days in NYC with extreme heat, when energy use usually spikes, the DCAS reduces energy use throughout city buildings and other participating facilities.
In addition to helping reduce blackouts and brownouts, the Demand Program cuts energy costs and generates revenue while utility providers pay the city for its support during hotter days and peak demand.
