NYSERDA’s current plan is to have the majority (70%) of the downstate power delivery be renewable by 2030[1]. I agree that the lack of connectivity is surprising, though. My understanding was that the city was actually pretty interconnected with both the state and surrounding states, but it’s possible that some of those connections were reduced after the 2005 blackout. That’s speculation in my part, though.
