A top New York utility executive says the state is on the right trajectory to reduce emissions, even as growing demand for electricity raises concerns.

Rudy Wynter, the president of National Grid New York, is leaving the company after more than three decades. He’s helmed the company’s New York businesses — upstate gas and electric and downstate gas customers — for three years.

Sally Librera, currently a senior vice president at AECOM, will take over the role.
