Energy For a Cleaner New York

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 —

  • By cutting energy costs for close to 3,900 schools and government offices, we're now saving New York taxpayers more than $134 million each year;

  • Lower fuel costs mean avoiding emissions from more than 820,000 tons of greenhouse gases each year, so far;

  • And New Yorkers have cut back their demand for foreign oil by more than 2.5 million barrels a year.

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.
