By Council Members Constantinides, Espinal, Brannan, Adams, Diaz, Torres, Rosenthal, Gjonaj, Menchaca and Kallos
A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the creation of wind maps demonstrating wind energy generation potential within the city
Be it enacted by the Council as follows:
Section 1. Chapter 8 of title 24 of the administrative code of the city of New York is amended by adding a new section 24-806 to read as follows:
§ 24-806 Wind resource assessment. The mayor shall include in each long-term sustainability plan required by subdivision e of section 20 of the charter, a wind resource assessment to identify and map the areas of the city where wind resources are available for the effective utilization of (i) a wind turbine appurtenant to a building that has a height of 100 feet or more, (ii) a wind turbine appurtenant to a building of any height located in a waterfront area or (iii) where wind resources are available for freestanding wind turbines in a waterfront area. Such assessment shall be made publicly available online together with a description of the methodology used to conduct such assessment. For the purposes of this section, the term “waterfront area” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the New York city zoning resolution.
§ 2. This local law takes effect immediately.
