Program Overview
The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority's (NYSERDA) Existing Facilities Program offers incentives for a variety of energy projects including Pre-Qualified Measures and Performance-Based Incentives.
Pre-Qualified Incentives
The performance-based incentives component of the Existing Facilities Program offers performance-based incentives to customers or ESCO's who are working on large-scale energy efficiency projects. Performance-based incentives are typically higher than pre-qualified incentives but are based on an engineering analysis and are potentially subject to measurement and verification (M&V) requirements.
Applicants can receive incentives ($/unit) for pre-qualified energy-efficiency and conservation measures. Projects can receive up to $30,000 through pre-qualified incentives. To apply for Pre-Qualified incentives, download and complete the Main Program Application and the appropriate Measure Application(s). Pre-Qualified Applications can not be submitted online.
Performance-Based Incentives
Electric Incentives are provided to customers or energy service companies (ESCOs) that implement energy-efficiency projects that deliver verifiable annual electrical energy savings.
Industrial and Process Efficiency Incentives are provided to offset the costs of projects focused on increasing productivity, increasing process efficiency, reducing waste, and reducing electricity consumption on a per unit of production basis.
Gas Incentives are provided to customers or ESCOs working on gas-efficiency projects that deliver verifiable annual gas savings.
Demand Response Incentives are provided to offset a portion of the technology costs that enable facilities to participate in Demand Response Programs.
Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Incentives are provided to offset the installation cost of clean, efficient, and commercially available CHP systems. |
