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. By cutting energy costs at
close to 2,650 public facilities, we save New York taxpayers
over $100 million a year while
helping to clean the air by avoiding annual emissions of more than 830,000 tons of
greenhouse gases. The electricity saved each year is enough to serve about 300,000
people—about the population of Buffalo.

air-conditioning costs at North Central Bronx Hospital. |
Our energy efficiency programs have resulted in more than
1,500 energy-saving projects at
local, county and state government facilities, public schools and state university
campuses, saving tax dollars and energy use and reducing annual greenhouse
gas emissions by more than 830,000 tons and dependence on foreign oil by
more than 2 million barrels a year.
We offer an ever-expanding range of customized services
that benefit taxpayers and the environment.
