Pride month is not just the month of June, it's celebrating year round to show who we are and what we do. Members of our LGBTQ+ community were asked to share their perspectives on Pride's importance and the value of authenticity both personally and professionally. While the journey towards complete equality is ongoing, our collective efforts bring us nearer to equality for all. #PrideMonth #Equality #Diversity #LGBTQ #Community

SUNY biologists’ most exciting discovery to date is a male Nomada electella, a species that had never been recorded in New York. Nomada electella, native to the United States. We continue to research to understand how to protect them and their unique role in their ecosystem. To learn more: http://spr.ly/6043gEykW #PollinatorWeek

We loved hearing from all the dedicated fathers and father figures. To all the Dads out there, you make a difference! #HappyFathersDay

This #GlobalWindDay, we want to focus on the major investments we are making to bring offshore wind to NYC, and bring clean energy to millions of homes and businesses. One of these is our Brooklyn Clean Energy Hub project. This hub will have the potential to bring 1,500 MW of renewable wind energy into our grid. That's one step closer to 100% clean energy by 2040.

Today is #FlagDay, a day that marks the anniversary of when the U.S. approved the design for its national flag in 1777. We proudly celebrate the symbol of our nation's unity and freedom.

Contrary to popular fears, “the grid is not going to collapse” because of electric cars, says Britt Reichborn-Kjennerud, our Director of E-mobility. “The bigger concern is that if we don’t plan differently for this very fast-increasing load, the grid won’t be ready in time to support the transition.” Utilities, carmakers, and energy thought leaders are actually starting to look at EVs differently because of their untapped energy storage potential. With the growing number of EVs in NYC, we are evolving our planning processes to prepare the grid for the projected rapid growth in EV loads on our system. This is so we can be ready ahead of time to support our customer's EV charger installations, and to electrify their fleets. link to The New York Times story (requires sign up): http://spr.ly/604651DjM #EV #Evs #electricvehicle #power
