NYSERDA Exhibits at the State Fair
NYS Energy & Environment Experience Returns to the State Fair
Concerts, rides, and butter sculptures - the New York State Fair is back in Syracuse from August 23rd to September 4th. NYSERDA is joining the festivities to showcase New York’s latest clean energy developments and progress towards its nation-leading climate goals.
Stop by to see our exhibits and demonstrations (more on that below) or have your clean energy questions answered by the NYSERDA team.
Join Daily Induction Cooking Demonstrations
Visit NYSERDA at the Wegmans Demonstration Kitchen 
for a live induction cooking demonstration from 3:30-4:30 p.m. every day of the State Fair. Demonstrations will cover how to use an induction stove or cooktop and their benefits, such as boiling water in about half the time and delivering precise temperature control.
A raffle will be held at each daily demonstration and an attendee will win a piece of premium cookware. Additionally, fairgoers can stop by the NYSERDA booth within the Experience Center at the Center of Progress Building to enter for a chance to win an induction cooktop.
Induction stoves transmit heat to metal cookware through an electromagnetic current, and thus, operate with cookware containing magnetic properties, such as cast iron, enameled cast iron, and many types of stainless steel. This process is more energy efficient than gas or electric cooktops and keeps the cooking surface cool since heat is being transmitted directly to the cookware.
Visit the NYS Energy & Environment Experience
New York State is working toward a clean energy transition that prioritizes greenhouse gas emission reduction, environmental protection, and growing economic opportunities. The collective efforts of NYSERDA, New York Power Authority (NYPA), Canal Corporation, Department of Public Service (DPS), and the Department of Environmental Conservation – to transform New York for a more sustainable future will be showcased through interactive activities and exhibits at the Center of Progress Building.
Fairgoers can dive into educational exhibits on a range of sustainability topics, including solar energy, building decarbonization, grid resilience, and ecotourism on New York’s canal system. Attendees can participate in several interactive exhibits, too, including:
- DPS invites fairgoers to test their knowledge of utility services and win a prize
- NYPA & NYSERDA are exhibiting an electric car charger matching game and an example charger
- DEC is bringing living trees into the exhibit area with “advice from a tree” signs offering arbor-inspired insights via haiku poems.
NYSERDA will be in attendance for the full 13-day celebration, running from August 23rd to September 4th. The NYS Energy & Environment Experience will be open Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
