Investigation Launched on Latest Con Ed Power Failure


On September 17, Governor Andrew Cuomo directed the New York State Department of Public Service to conduct an immediate investigation into Con Edison's substation failure on Sunday afternoon that led to power failures across Brooklyn, including at the NYCHA Red Hook houses, and causing significant subway delays.

"The apparent failure at ConEd substation Sunday afternoon was completely unacceptable, affecting Brooklyn NYCHA residents and passengers on Subway trains across the city," Governor Cuomo said. "ConEd must be held accountable for the multitude of issues with their infrastructure that are too frequently impacting the lives of millions of New Yorkers. I am directing the Department of Public Service to conduct an immediate top to bottom investigation into today's incident - the status quo cannot continue."
