Tips to Lower Your Energy Bills

NYPA-directed crews recently completed projects in New York State that will enhance lighting in South Glens Falls schools... introduce solar power in Monroe County...and upgrade HVAC for Long Island Railroad maintenance facilities. Similar work will benefit Clinton schools, Metro North Railroad and CUNY.
In fact, in 2011 we broke our clean energy investment record for the third straight year, with more than $186 million invested in projects such as these. That helped complete work at 799 public facilities during the year, and it’s financing another 267 projects at more than 1,700 locations statewide. We’ve invested close to $1.5 billion in these efforts to date.
It's paying off —
Those have been our goals since 1987—for public hospitals, schools and libraries; for police, fire and correctional facilities; for aquariums, zoos and museums; for public housing and bus, subway and train depots. It's right there at the core of our mission.
NYPA's far-reaching efforts to help New York State save money, megawatts and the environment are part of our commitment to sustainability, intended to leave the planet a cleaner, healthier, more livable place for future generations.
