Modernized Electric Grid: Enables energy resilience and security through distributed energy resources, advanced control systems, two-way communication and smart devices deployed at scale
Intelligent Micro Grid: Builds energy self-sufficiency and supports affordability during periods of price volatility
Distributed Generation and Storage: Strengthens energy independence and allows customers to produce local, clean power and sell it back to the grid
Electrified Buildings: Assists customers' shift to carbon-free energy use primarily through electrified heating
Onsite Backup Generation: Assures essential customer facilities are resilient against interruptions to electricity flow in the grid
Electrified Transport and Charging Infrastructure: Reduces customers’ carbon footprint through clean transport and shipping (e.g., light-duty electric vehicles, MTA buses and trains)
Smart Home Technology: Manages customer bills and provides benefits such as demand response to the grid by optimizing consumption of power in real-time
Vehicle to Grid Technology: Supports real-time customer energy management and renewable generation by acting as an integrated storage system for the broader grid
Smart City: Enables efficient and responsive interaction with the power system by integrating urban infrastructure, customers and information flows
Two-Way Communication Network: Manages the seamless flow of energy to the consumer using a robust and secure backbone of wireless and fiber optic information transfer
Carbon-free Electricity Generation: Ensures a carbon-free future for the state through multiple, innovative clean power sources (hydroelectric, solar, wind) and large-scale storage solutions (batteries, pumped hydroelectric)
The Future of the Energy Grid
The New York State Canal System is a marvel of engineering that spans more than 500 miles across Upstate New York.
Our Reimagine the Canals initiative has five high-level goals: resilience, regeneration, restoration, reuse, retrofit.
NYPA’s statewide impact since 2012: 400,000+ jobs created or retained; $226+ million saved per year through energy efficiency; $28+ billion in capital investment by our customers.
At peak times, approximately 43 million gallons of water per minute flow into the turbines at Robert Moses Niagara Power Project.
1,100 engineers and operations staff at NYPA facilities ensure that NYPA power meets market needs more than 99% of the time.
25%We generate up to 25 percent of New York State’s electricity
1,400+Satisfied Customers
