The NYSERDA Technical Assistance program increases productivity and economic competitiveness of participating facilities by implementing cost-effective, energy efficiency measures, peak-load curtailment, combined heat and power (CHP) and renewable generation projects.
This program typically allows facilities to choose an engineering firm to develop and deliver customized, cost-effective energy efficiency measures. Most projects are cost shared by NYSERDA on a 50:50 basis up to $500,000. For Con Edison customers, NYSERDA may provide up to $1,000,000.
The following customers are eligible for the Technical Assistance Program:
• New York State (NYS) industrial and commercial facilities
• State and local governments
• Not-for-profit and private institutions
• Public and private K-12 schools, colleges, universities and health care facilities
Participants should be qualified New York State electric distribution system customers.
The program is divided into three separate components:
• Energy Efficiency Technical Assistance
• CHP and Renewable Generation Technical Assistance
• Peak-Load Curtailment Plan Technical Assistance.
For examples of what falls within these categories, see Additional Information below.
Applicants may choose to submit an application for any of the three components referenced above. All three components will be reviewed for funding on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Applications for this program are being accepted until November, 30, 2009. |
