As part of the initial pilot, the NYPA will request proposals from manufacturers and select one or more. Then, NYSERDA will purchase, install and test stoves for 100 NYCHA households. After the testing phase, NYCHA plans on buying 10,000 induction stoves through the contest, with the eventual goal of replacing all the gas stoves in its 177,000 apartments.
“Overall I think it’d be a good change especially in the path of upgrading and modernizing NYCHA,” Tyre said. “I definitely see the benefits of this, especially when it comes to health concerns, but I know the majority of residents will push back.”
