NYSERDA recently completed a pilot initiative to increase the energy efficiency of commercial kitchens in New York. NYSERDA is continuing to help restaurant owners and managers of non-profits to find ways of reducing energy costs within their commercial kitchens, including capital purchases that reduce their energy and water use and costs. Focus on Hospitality - Commercial Kitchens Program works in conjunction with the NYSERDA Small Commercial Audit Program, in providing qualified engineering assessments for your building and commercial kitchen operations. The Small Commercial Audit Program provides a full energy efficiency assessment and recommendations for any type of commercial building with $75,000 or less in annual electricity bills. For larger or more complex operations, NYSERDA shares the costs for the use of any qualified energy engineering firm through its FlexTech and Technical Assistance Programs. Available IncentivesNYSERDA offers incentives on selected high efficiency commercial food service equipment that meet the Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE) Tiers. Incentives range from $30 to $1000, depending on the model.
