New York is leading the nation in the fight on global climate change and the transition to a clean energy-powered economy.

NYSERDA works with stakeholders that span residents, business owners, developers, community leaders, local government officials, universities, utilities, investors, entrepreneurs, and more, to develop, invest, and foster conditions that:

• Attract the private sector capital investment needed to expand New York’s clean energy economy.

• Overcome barriers to using clean energy at a large-scale in New York.

• Enable New York’s communities and residents to benefit equitably from energy efficiency and renewable energy.
