About ReCharge NY

On its website, NYPA describes ReCharge NY as “one of the signature economic development initiatives” in New York State.

Through the ReCharge NY program, qualifying businesses and nonprofits statewide can potentially lower their energy costs by using specially allocated NYPA power which is set aside by the state government and the NYPA board for economic support.

Recipients of allocated power have made commitments such as remaining in the state, keeping or growing employment, expanding operations, and/or making significant local investments in their businesses.
