Bond Financing
Holding down the price of energy for New Yorkers is important to NYSERDA. Through its financing program, NYSERDA issues tax-exempt bonds and notes on behalf of utility companies to finance certain eligible costs of their electric, gas, or steam-service systems. Under certain circumstances, NYSERDA also can issue tax-exempt special energy project bonds to reduce costs of borrowing for businesses and institutions in the State. These interest-cost savings directly benefit New Yorkers.
New York State's utility customers will save nearly $3.7 billion in interest costs on the close to $3.7 billion in bonds that NYSERDA has outstanding.
NYSERDA has over $30.1 million outstanding in tax-exempt and taxable State Service Contract Revenue Bonds issued to finance a portion of the State's share of West Valley Demonstration Program expenditures.
