Green and Greener

Photo of Niagara Falls The New York Power Authority has been ranked one of the cleanest electric utilities in the nation. Our environmental record reflects a diversified energy mix, including renewable, pollution-free hydropower accounting for 75 percent of the electricity we produce; deployment of advanced pollution controls; and use of the lowest-emission fossil fuels.

We are also a leader in implementing energy-efficiency programs and developing clean transportation and new, non-polluting energy technologies.

As the environmental, or “green,” movement expands, so are NYPA’s efforts toward “sustainability”—preserving our planet for future generations. The commitment is seen at all levels of the NYPA organization.

A Sustainability Integration Review Team of NYPA staff is preparing a Corporate Sustainability Plan that will ultimately involve all employees and affect the Power Authority's entire operations.
