New York State Senate Minority Leader Rob Ortt claimed that the electrical grid today can’t handle the increased load from a planned move in future years away from natural gas in new construction and in heating sources. That’s accurate.
The transition will happen over time, and that transition includes investment in the grid and in renewable energy projects and transmission infrastructure, commission spokesman Jim Denn said.are part of the state Climate Action Council’s scoping plan, which was published before Hochul announced her proposals.
Experts told us the grid has more capacity in some areas, and less in others, and whether the grid can handle the added demand depends on where conversions from natural gas to electricity occur. Luigi Vanfretti, an electrical, computer and systems engineering professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, said that supply chain issues could disrupt plans to upgrade the grid, as some delays for transformers and other grid components can last 18 months to three years. Grid projects can also require approvals and land acquisitions that take years.
An associate professor from New York University’s Tandon School of Engineering who studies sustainable engineering said that the grid will require additional capacity to support the shift away from fossil fuel energy sources, but will ultimately be cost-effective. "A significant change in our energy portfolio, such as the ones required for deep decarbonization, will necessitate investment in infrastructure to ensure safe and dependable power distribution," said Miguel A. Modestino, director of the sustainable engineering initiative.
