New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA)

NYSERDA is a public benefit corporation dedicated to advancing clean energy and energy efficiency initiatives across New York State. Established in 1975, its core mission is to promote the use of renewable energy sources, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and develop a more reliable, affordable, and less polluting energy system for all New Yorkers. The organization provides objective information, analytical insights, technical expertise, and crucial support to achieve these goals.

Comprehensive Program Offerings

NYSERDA's extensive programs cater to a diverse range of stakeholders, including residents, businesses, industries, municipalities, and underserved communities. Offerings span critical areas such as energy assessments and benchmarking for buildings, deployment of clean heating and cooling technologies like heat pumps and geothermal systems, and comprehensive strategies for building decarbonization through solar, energy storage, and EV charging infrastructure. The authority also supports the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) for both individual drivers and commercial fleets, facilitating the installation of charging stations across homes, businesses, and public spaces.

Economic Development and Workforce Empowerment

Beyond technological deployment, NYSERDA actively fosters economic growth within the clean energy sector. It provides funding opportunities for innovative cleantech solutions, supports entrepreneurs and startups, and manages significant investments, including through the NY Green Bank. A crucial aspect of its work involves workforce development, offering programs for clean energy careers, internships, apprenticeships, and training for current employees. This commitment extends to supporting underserved communities through climate justice fellowships and community-based programs, ensuring equitable access to the benefits of the clean energy transition.

Policy and Community Solutions

The Authority plays a vital role in shaping New York's energy future by contributing to state energy planning, climate act implementation, and the development of clean and resilient building codes. It offers solutions for municipalities, aids in community-scale renewable project siting, and facilitates the redevelopment of power plant sites for new energy uses. Through these efforts, NYSERDA aims to improve the health, resiliency, and prosperity of New Yorkers while accelerating the state's transition to a low-carbon future.
