Background
In October 2021, the Astoria Power Plant's construction permits for gas turbine upgrades were denied because it was not in line with the state of New York's climate movements.[10] NRG Energy continued to maintain the plant would have been moving to run on hydrogen power in the future without providing a detailed timeline. As of September 2022, NRG Energy was focusing on connecting offshore wind energy to the gas plant's grid.
