Environmental Benefits

Albany's Empire State Plaza and Capitol Building benefit
from NYPA's high-efficiency lighting. |
Besides supplying some of the nation’s cleanest and
lowest-cost electricity, the New York Power Authority is one of the
premier energy-service organizations. Based on a study of state
energy trends, the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy
has ranked New York State as the nation's leader in energy savings,
and the Power Authority’s award-winning energy-efficiency programs
have played a large part in helping the state gain that distinction.

A NYPA-installed chiller boosts energy efficiency and cuts
air-conditioning costs at North Central Bronx Hospital. |
By cutting energy costs at close to 2,650 public
facilities, including local, county and state government facilities, public
schools and state university campuses, we save New York taxpayers over $100
million a year. The energy savings also help to clean the air by
avoiding annual emissions of more than 808,000 tons of greenhouse gases, and
reduces our dependence on foreign oil by more than 2 million barrels a year.
The electricity saved each year is enough to serve about 300,000
people—about the population of Buffalo.
We offer an ever-expanding range of customized services
that benefit taxpayers and the environment.
