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
Applicants can receive incentives ($/unit) for pre-qualified energy-efficiency and conservation
measures. Projects can receive up to $30,000 through pre-qualified incentives. For national
fuel gas, pre-qualified incentives are limited to a cap of $25,000. 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.
Follow these instructions to ensure complete application package for pre-qualified projects.

Please submit the completed steps 1 and 2 , along with all required attachments to the address listed on page 1 of the main program application. |
Performance-Based 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.
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. |
