Innovative Market Strategies Program

Exploring novel approaches to modernize and reduce the carbon footprint of buildings is necessary to meet New York’s climate goals. Funding through the Innovative Market Strategies Program is supporting replicable and scalable approaches to building decarbonization.

Implementing new strategies to transform New York’s buildings for a low-carbon future will spur clean energy job growth across the State, bring more predictable energy costs, and create healthier homes and workplaces.

NYSERDA accepted proposals through July 2022 for innovative approaches with a pathway to scale for:

• Decarbonization of heating loads
• Low-carbon solutions for Disadvantaged Communities
• Load flexibility

Proposals could focus on more than one solution area and were awarded based on how they advance the State’s energy goals and other evaluation criteria.
