Energy Infrastructure Boat Tour

About

Guide Cullen Brown, who works with the New York Power Authority on tours focused on electricity, water, steam, and transit systems, leads a route from Midtown to Astoria and Sunset Park tracing the city's electrical grid from the Edison, Tesla, and Westinghouse era to present-day projects like Equinor's Empire Wind offshore wind farm and the still-under-construction Brooklyn Clean Energy Hub. The tour frames the grid's vulnerabilities amid climate change and extreme weather alongside its role powering transit and daily life.
