The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) has funding available for capital improvement projects that save energy and improve productivity, for existing facilities or new construction. Energy savings projects can fall into different categories:
Projects that reduce overall electric consumptions:
- Energy efficient lighting
- Energy efficient motors and variable speed drives
- Energy Efficient HVAC
- New buildings that are more energy efficient than building code
Projects that reduce energy use per production unit:
- Increased throughput
- Reduced scrap
- Increased energy efficiency versus the existing or standard method of production
Data center projects that reduce energy per unit of data processed:
- Virtualization
- Application management
- Cooling efficiency
- Improved airflow
Incentives are provided on the custom application of commercially available technology. Each project will be unique based on the applicant's needs and site-specific process. Eligible facilities must pay into the System Benefits Charge (SBC) as electricity distribution customers of the following utilities: Central Hudson Gas & Electric, Consolidated Edison, NYSEG, National Grid, Orange and Rockland Utilities, or Rochester Gas and Electric. NYSERDA also offers incentives for certain pre-qualified measures and performance incentives for other electric efficiency, gas efficiency, demand response, and CHP projects through the parent
Existing Facilities program.
Facilities may apply either on their own behalf or through their designated applicant. Funding is available on a first-come, first-served basis and is available through December 31, 2011.
