New York’s New Energy Efficiency Target

Energy efficiency is one of the cornerstones in New York’s national leadership on clean energy and combatting climate change.

Under Governor Cuomo’s direction, New York is significantly accelerating its energy efficiency target to reduce harmful emissions, lower energy costs, and create jobs. This new target of 185 trillion Btus (British thermal units) of end-use energy savings by 2025 is the equivalent to saving the energy consumed by 1.8 million New York homes.

New York’s Historic Commitment to Clean Energy

In the largest single commitment to renewables by a state in U.S. history, NYSERDA awarded $1.4 billion for 26 large-scale clean energy projects.

Located throughout the State, the 26 projects will generate enough clean, locally produced energy to power more than 430,000 homes, reduce carbon emissions by 1.6 million metrics tons, and create over 3,000 good-paying jobs, while helping meet New York’s Clean Energy Standard.
