Energy Innovation and Business Development
Conducting a multifaceted energy and environmental research and development program has been a central responsibility at NYSERDA since its inception in 1975. NYSERDA's R&D Program supports the development and commercialization of innovative energy and environmental products, technologies, and processes that improve the quality of life for New York's citizens and help New York businesses to compete and grow in the global economy. NYSERDA's R&D Program has been instrumental in attracting new businesses to New York, enabling companies to expand, retain and create new jobs, and increase profitability for many businesses across the State.
