CARROLL GARDENS — STUDENTS AND OFFICIALS cut the ribbon on a new solar installation atop a Carroll Gardens school Tuesday, at an event attended by top brass from the city, NYC Public School’s Green Team, the principal and students of P.S. 58 and representatives from partner Generate Capital in Brooklyn. “Today’s ribbon cutting represents an incredible milestone in our city’s clean energy and sustainability efforts: over 100 solar panels on our schools, bringing renewable power to the city and augmenting the robust sustainability work happening inside our buildings,” said Schools Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos.
“I’m proud to celebrate this milestone in electrifying our schools at P.S. 58 in my district—a critical step toward advancing New York City’s decarbonization goals and reducing our reliance on fossil fuels,” said Councilmember Shahana Hanif, who is advocating for the electrification and air quality upgrades of 500 schools by 2030.
