Описание: For over two centuries, Consolidated Edison has quietly powered New York City’s relentless pulse beneath its iconic skyline—from gas-lit lamps in the 1820s to the vast, intricate electric grid and steam system fueling skyscrapers, subways, and data centers today. This storied utility giant has evolved through fierce technological battles, political machinations, and infrastructure revolutions, weathering crises from massive blackouts to climate threats, all while mastering the art of regulated monopoly and turning capital investments into dependable returns. As New York races toward a clean energy future, Con Edison stands at the crossroads of tradition and innovation, transforming into a high-tech grid operator critical to the digital age and climate resilience. Dive into this compelling narrative of how a 19th-century gas company became an indispensable modern powerhouse and what its extraordinary legacy reveals about infrastructure, capitalism, and the future of urban life.
