NYSERDA administers the New York Energy $martSM program,
which is designed to support certain public benefit programs during
the transition to a more competitive electricity market. Some 2,700
projects in 40 programs are funded by a charge on the electricity
transmitted and distributed by the State's investor-owned utilities.
The New York Energy $martSM program provides energy efficiency services,
including those directed at the low-income sector, research and development,
and environmental protection activities.
Federally funded, the Energy Efficiency Services program is working
with more than 540 businesses, schools, and municipalities to identify
existing technologies and equipment to reduce their energy costs. |
