Generation
The New York Power Authority’s generation mix ranges from one of the nation’s largest hydropower producers to demonstration projects using alternative technologies.
Our primary generating facilities consist of 17 power producers fueled by flowing water or natural gas and/or low-sulfur oil.
By investing hundreds of millions of dollars in Life Extension and Modernization work, along with ongoing Operations & Maintenance, NYPA workers keep these sites operating as efficiently as possible.
We are also breaking new ground on clean distributed generation sources, including fuel cells, solar photovoltaic systems, microturbines and wind farms. In some cases, NYPA takes on these initiatives itself; in other instances, we are collaborating with other public and private entities to better serve New York State.
We are committed to managing these resources in the ISO market to optimize their value to NYPA’s customers and stakeholders, and to the people of New York State.
