A utility giant has advised residents to avoid using large appliances and moderate air conditioner use as temperatures soar as high as 38C.
“I think it’s BS,” Ahmed N., 23, told The Post while walking his dog in Herbert Von King Park in Bedford-Stuyvesant. “It shouldn’t be personal responsibility to combat a collective problem like climate change.” ConEd first issued the power-down advice in a July 7 alert, and re-issued that guidance in a message sent to customers late Monday morning.
“We will be monitoring the electrical system,” he noted at the news conference. “The system can be stressed, and when temperatures rise, we urge New Yorkers to be mindful of their energy consumption.” However, Times Square is on its own network, meaning lowered energy at the Crossroads of the World wouldn’t affect residents in other neighborhoods, a spokesperson for ConEd told The Post.While Times Square won’t go dim anytime soon, more than 600 buildings have already reduced their energy consumption, which is the equivalent of powering down 12 Empire State Buildings, Adams said Monday.
