New York State Puts Up $27 Million for Energy Efficiency

Negawatts Anyone?

GreenBiz reports that the New York State Public Service Commission will offer $27 million to electric utilities for energy efficiency programs with an ultimate goal of an annual reduction of 693,951 megawatt hours per year. Additionally, the Commission will make an extra $5 million available for meeting electricity demand reductions in New York City, although the reduction targets have not been set.

“Incentives are valuable in securing a long-term commitment by utilities to achieving efficiency goals,” said Commission Chairman Garry Brown.
