# Con Edison shuts off power to parts of Bronx neighborhood on hottest day of the year

> **Open Intelligence Dossier** · First detected: 2026-07-03 00:07 UTC · Category: Business

## Executive Summary
A severe heat wave is straining New York City's electrical grid, resulting in thousands of outages and calls for conservation from Con Edison and Gov. Hochul.

## Intelligence Brief
Con Edison has implemented power shutoffs and voltage reductions across New York City, including parts of the Bronx, Manhattan, Westchester, and Staten Island. Thousands of customers are currently without power, with outages impacting residential areas and businesses in neighborhoods like Van Nest. Coverage from outlets including News12, ABC7 New York, PIX11, and SILive.com emphasizes the strain on the electrical grid during peak heat.


Officials, including Gov. Hochul, have issued energy warnings and requested that residents maintain thermostats at 78 degrees to reduce load. Additionally, reports from the New York Post indicate that public concern regarding high electric bills persists alongside the extreme weather conditions.


Future updates will track restoration efforts for the remaining thousands of affected customers. It remains to be seen how long voltage reductions will persist and whether further conservation mandates will be required as the heat wave continues.
