Human Resources

New York is leading the nation in the fight on global climate change and the transition to a clean energy-powered economy. The Climate Act (https://climate.ny.gov/) has created the most aggressive climate change goals in the nation and requires an ambitious agenda that blends proven catalysts with innovative approaches while operating across a broader energy arena that is rapidly evolving. New York State Energy Research & Development Authority (NYSERDA) is a driving force in realizing this agenda. NYSERDA works with stakeholders that span residents, business owners, developers, community leaders, local government officials, universities, utilities, investors, entrepreneurs, and more, to develop, invest, and foster conditions that:

+ Attract the private sector capital investment needed to expand New York’s clean energy economy.

+ Overcome barriers to using clean energy at a large-scale in New York.

+ Enable New York’s communities and residents to benefit equitably from energy efficiency and renewable energy.
