Build Public Renewables unleashes the country's largest public power provider, the New York Power Authority, to build renewable energy at the scale and speed we need. As a Green New Deal program, it won't just transform our energy system, but use it to uplift the working class.

HOW IT WORKS
The Build Public Renewables Act, or BPRA, empowers the publicly-owned New York Power Authority (NYPA) to build the wind and solar we need, in a process guided by the people.
WHAT DOES BPRA DO
Mandate To Build
Public Ownership
Labor and Just Transition
Lower Energy Bills
Close Fossil Fuel Plants
Democratic Planning

Corporations have kept NY stuck at a paltry 4% wind and solar power for four years. Build Public Renewables calls their bluff, mandating that NYPA step in to build whatever corporations don't, so that we actually transition off fossil fuels at the speed we need.

MANDATE TO BUILD
NYPA is now authorized and directed by law to build the wind and solar we need to get to 70% renewable generation by 2030 and 100% by 2040, stepping in where the private market has failed. 
(we’re at 4% right now btw)
Lasts until 2035, with chance for extension
(we will extend it)
