Nearly 30 New York City elected officials are urging Gov. Kathy Hochul to sign legislation that would let residents plug small solar systems into ordinary electrical outlets without first obtaining utility approval.
In a letter seen by amNewYork, City Comptroller Mark Levine, Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal, and 27 City Council members, including Speaker Julie Menin, argue that the Solar Up Now New York Act could help apartment residents lower their electricity bills and generate renewable power.
