Public engagement is an important part of shaping New York’s energy future. ⚡ The Advanced Nuclear Policy Options Paper is now available. The paper evaluates policy mechanisms to enable the commercial viability of new advanced nuclear projects advancing Governor Hochul’s 5GW Nuclear Reliability Backbone initiative to deliver system-wide benefits and support a strong, affordable and clean electricity grid. Topics include commercial barriers, liability and risk management, technology selection, procurement approaches, and potential funding pathways. Public comments are open through August 10, 2026. 📝 Review the paper and share your feedback to help inform the next phase of this work. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/es64T4ey

NYSERDA’s Accomplishments Report looks back at measurable progress achieved through the end of 2025. Our Annual Strategic Outlook 2026-2029 looks ahead at the opportunities and priorities shaping New York’s clean energy future. The Accomplishments Report highlights impact that drove progress forward for New York and communities statewide, including ➡️ Since 2016, 450K+ multifamily units supported with an estimated customer savings of $1.1B (since 2016). ➡️185K clean energy jobs statewide (2024). ➡️ Solar is reducing the total costs of operating New York’s power, including approximately $90M in savings during the summer heatwave (2025). ➡️Over $197M in rebates for new purchases of electric vehicles. ➡️54% NYSERDA's funding to modernize and improve the quality of New York State’s buildings benefits disadvantaged communities or low-income customers. Beyond these milestones, the Strategic Outlook outlines a roadmap for how programs and investments can continue driving affordability, grid resilience, economic development, and equitable access to clean energy solutions over the next three years. 🔗 Accomplishments Report: https://on.ny.gov/4vulqXR 🔗 Strategic Outlook: https://on.ny.gov/4vZ62Ue

The company utilizes 35 AC Level EV charging stations at distribution centers across NY to charge electric delivery trucks used in daily operations. In addition, parent company PepsiCo continues investing in sustainable technology, including: -Electric yard tractors -Lithium-ion battery-powered forklifts -Tesla semi trucks -Electric box trucks for last mile delivery -Employee EV charging stations New York State is leading the way, powering clean deliveries and a stronger future for our communities and economy.

Decarbonizing older multifamily buildings requires solutions designed for real-world structural and economic constraints. In NYC, buildings constructed before 1947 represent a significant share of the housing stock and often rely on aging steam or hydronic heating systems. These conditions make traditional heat pump retrofits costly, complex, and disruptive due to required electrical upgrades and installation challenges, particularly in dense multifamily and public housing settings. Through NYSERDA's Innovation & Research Program, Gradient was supported in developing a cold-climate window heat pump specifically designed to address these barriers. The technology provides an alternative pathway for electrification in space- and infrastructure-constrained buildings. This work reflects on NYSERDA's role in advancing a broader innovation ecosystem that supports the development, demonstration, and real-world deployment of clean energy technologies across New York State.

From wood 🪵to wind 💨, America's energy story has evolved for 250 years. What started with wood as the original fuel has shifted through coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear, hydropower, and now rapidly growing renewable energy like wind and solar. Each era reflects how the country adapted to new needs, new challenges, and new innovations - from the Industrial Age to today's modern clean energy transition. As we mark 250 years of the United States, we're looking at how far we've come, and how we’ll continue to evolve our clean energy transition. 🌟 Happy 250th America!

BIG solar news!🌞 Governor Kathy Hochul announced that 8 gigawatts (GW) of distributed solar has now been installed across New York State! That’s enough energy to power more than 1.3 million homes and businesses across New York – including disadvantaged communities. This milestone puts the state ahead of schedule for reaching 10 GW of distributed solar by 2030. There are more than 276,000 projects operating across the State, with another 2.7 GW in development. Solar can be built more quickly than other types of energy infrastructure and is among the most affordable ways to develop new generation. https://lnkd.in/dDYdz4ZJ

Pushing the Envelope?✉️ Summer or winter for your business, the building envelope holds the key to regulating the indoor climate (temperature control, air quality, etc.) and protecting against the outdoor environment (drafts, condensation, etc.). A building envelope is the physical barrier between a building's interior and the exterior. Often called the building’s "skin," it includes the roof, walls, foundation, windows, and doors. Don't overlook the significance of a well-designed and properly maintained building envelope. If you're struggling with temperature control, drafts, or condensation issues in your home, building, or business, take proactive steps to weatherize your property and optimize its envelope. 🏢Business and building owners: Completing an energy study of your building can help you identify and evaluate opportunities to reduce energy costs. https://lnkd.in/eu7yXbBm
