Con Edison

Glad to have been alongside the Edison Electric Institute and industry colleagues to celebrate the strong connection between energy, reliability, and the institutions and people that keep the city moving.

What started as a conversation turned into a thriving Brooklyn restaurant for over 12 years. FiFi and Gwen of The Crabby Shack shared how their fully electric operation and smarter energy choices help keep the kitchen running and the seafood coming.

Rain or shine, our crews show up and get it done. A few weeks ago in Gowanus, our crew pushed forward installing a new transformer in what felt like 5 degrees in order to stay on track for their summer deadline. This work will help power the neighborhood and strengthen reliability across Brooklyn as demand for electricity rises.

We joined partners from the Building and Construction Trades this week to highlight the work that keeps New York running and the union workforce that helps make it possible. Reliability is the foundation of our service and is made possible through strong partnerships with the trades. As weather intensifies and energy demand increases, skilled union men and women who help our teams construct and maintain our energy systems, helping deliver some of the most dependable power in the nation to New Yorkers. Our newly approved $17 billion investment plan strengthens that foundation. By investing early and not waiting for equipment to fail, we’re reducing outages, preventing emergencies, and keeping long term costs down for customers. Together we’re: • Building a stronger, more resilient grid that's prepared for extreme weather and growing demand • Expanding renewable energy and grid infrastructure, including new substations and transmission upgrades • Supporting our own highly skilled union workforce, while contributing to more than 40,000 jobs across New York State • Training the next generation of workers for offshore wind, electrification, and the grid of the future New York’s clean energy transition is being built safely, reliably, and by New Yorkers. We’re grateful for our long standing partnership with labor and for the crews who show up every day to keep this city powered.

From early travel to meetings on Capitol Hill, the planning and pace of LIHEAP Action Day was nonstop. But the mission was simple; speak up for the program helping our friends and neighbors keep their homes warm in the winter and cool in the summer. LIHEAP helps families manage energy costs and is a critical resource for many of our customers. This advocacy day gave us the chance to share their stories and call for continued congressional support. Check your eligibility for our Financial Assistance Programs here: http://spr.ly/6045hClTF

Huge thank you to our crews. They’ve been working in icy, exhausting conditions over the past few weeks and haven’t let up. They’re assessing damage in real time and working around the clock. We see you, and we appreciate everything you do.

From three different regions of Thailand to NYC, Soothr brings the flavors and traditions of their home into one shared space. With steady power supporting every service, gathering, and late night meal, the restaurant stays focused on what it does best. From the bold dishes to the stunning interiors, their love for their heritage shines through as they prepare to gallop into the Year of the Horse.

When the crew’s off the clock, they head to The Nourish Spot—a familiar place with heart. Dawn’s commitment to health, community, and flavor makes her business one of the few in Southeast, Jamaica, Queens serving fresh eats with purpose. We stopped by to share our favorites and hear how her journey from electricity to healthy living keeps her mission grounded in care and connection. This Black History Month, we celebrate her impact all year long.

At Brooklyn Blooms in Bed-Stuy, owner LaParis brings her signature floral magic to every arrangement. Her bold, artful designs have turned the shop into a neighborhood favorite, where the community shows love right back. When Valentine’s Day rolls around, the hustle doesn’t stop. Orders pour in all season, the team works nonstop, and that trusty flower fridge and cooler stay running full power to keep every bloom fresh. Through it all, LaParis and her crew keep spreading love, one bouquet at a time.

Winter storms may hit hard, but New Yorkers count on us, and our crews deliver. Through snow, wind, and long overnight shifts, they work around the clock to repair damage, restore service, and protect the grid that keeps New York City and Westchester moving. We appreciate our UWUA Local 1–2 and IBEW Local 3 teams. Their dedication, skill, and resilience help keep our city safe and powered, no matter what the weather brings.
