New York Energy Prices presents retail energy price data. Energy prices are provided by fuel type in nominal dollars per million Btu for the residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation sectors. This section includes a column in the price table displaying gross domestic product (GDP) price deflators for converting nominal (current year) dollars to constant (real) dollars. To convert nominal to constant dollars, divide the nominal energy price by the GDP price deflator for that particular year. Historical petroleum, electricity, coal, and natural gas prices were compiled primarily from the Energy Information Administration.

The Utility Energy Registry (UER) is a database platform that provides streamlined public access to aggregated community-scale utility-reported energy data. The UER is intended to promote and facilitate community-based energy planning and energy use awareness and engagement. On April 19, 2018, the New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) issued the Order Adopting the Utility Energy Registry under regulatory CASE 17-M-0315. The order requires utilities under its regulation to develop and report community energy use data to the UER.

This dataset includes electricity and natural gas usage data reported at the county level level collected under a data protocol in effect between 2016 and 2021. Other UER datasets include energy use data reported at the city, town, and village, and ZIP code level. Data collected after 2021 were collected according to a modified protocol. Those data may be found at https://data.ny.gov/Energy-Environment/Utility-Energy-Registry-Monthly-County-Energy-Use-/46pe-aat9.

Data in the UER can be used for several important purposes such as planning community energy programs, developing community greenhouse gas emissions inventories, and relating how certain energy projects and policies may affect a particular community. It is important to note that the data are subject to privacy screening and fields that fail the privacy screen are withheld.

THE NYSERDA 2022 SOILS DATA IS TO BE USED FOR NYSERDA’S PROCUREMENT PURPOSES OR THE NY-SUN PROGRAM AND IS NOT INTENDED TO REPRESENT ACTUAL IN SITU SOIL CONDITIONS.

NYSERDA has launched the Renewable Energy Standard (RES) request for proposals, RESRFP22-1, to continue accelerating progress towards New York’s goal of generating 70 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030. Through RESRFP22-1, NYSERDA seeks to procure approximately 4.5 million Tier 1 eligible Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) from eligible facilities that enter commercial operation on or after January 1, 2015 and on or before November 30, 2024, unless extended to November 30, 2027.

In order to facilitate the protection of agricultural lands, developers participating in RESRFP22-1 or the NY-Sun program may be responsible for making an agricultural mitigation payment to a designated fund based on the extent to which the solar project’s facility area overlaps with an Agricultural District and New York’s highly productive agricultural soils, identified as Mineral Soil Groups (MSG) classifications 1 through 4 (MSG 1-4). This mitigation approach is designed to discourage solar projects from siting on MSG 1-4. Furthermore, this mitigation approach is designed to encourage retaining agricultural productivity on the project site. Instances where Proposers cannot avoid or minimize impacts on MSG 1-4 will result in a payment to a fund administered by NYSERDA. Disbursement of collected agricultural mitigation payment funds will be informed by consultation with the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets (AGM) to support ongoing regional agricultural practices and/or soil conservation initiatives.

This dataset contains a combination of soils data from multiple sources to serve participants of NYSERDA’s Large-Scale Renewable and NY-Sun programs. The NYSERDA 2022 Soils Data was created by converting the 2022 New York State Agricultural Land Classification master list of soils maintained by AGM to a tabular form and providing a corresponding unique identifier for each listed soil that enables the user to link the soils to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) SSURGO soils database, allowing for a geographical representation. When the NYSERDA 2022 Soils Data is joined with spatial data from the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) SSURGO soils database, the corresponding soil unit can be mapped in a geographic information system software. The latest version of the SSURGO database should be used to get the most accurate join. Data is updated yearly from both NRCS and from AGM, however, NYSERDA will not update this dataset and it will remain intact for future reference. NYSERDA intends on creating new soils datasets for future procurements on an annual basis.

This dataset includes all Statewide Commercial Baseline Study summary statistics related to the estimation of population penetration and saturation estimates. These include summaries of the number of survey respondents asked each equation, the number of survey respondents who provided a valid answer, the unweighted penetration, weighted penetration, and adjusted and weighted penetration. All supporting summary statistics are also provided. Penetration refers to the proportion of businesses that have one or more of a particular piece of equipment. Saturation is a number representing how many of a particular piece of equipment are present, on average, among all businesses. The overall objective of the Statewide Commercial Baseline research was to understand the existing commercial building stock in New York State and associated energy use, including the penetration and saturation of energy consuming equipment (electric, natural gas, and other fuels).

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) sought to accelerate the adoption of ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems from 2017 through 2019 because thermal energy used in the residential and commercial sectors for space heating and cooling and hot water accounts for 37% of net energy consumption and 32% of all combustion-based greenhouse gas emissions in New York State. In 2017, clean heating and cooling (CH&C) technologies, in general, and GSHP systems in particular, occupy a niche position in New York State, penetrating less than 1% of the heating and cooling market. The now closed GSHP Rebate Program (the “Program”), that provided incentives for the installation of GSHP systems, was allocated this funding by the New York Public Service Commission through the Clean Energy Fund. Projects comprising small-scale GSHP systems (≤ 10 AHRI rated cooling tons) were eligible for a Rebate of $1,500 per cooling ton; and Projects comprising large-scale GSHP systems (> 10 AHRI rated cooling tons) were eligible for a Rebate of $1,200 per cooling ton, subject to certain incentive caps.

The NYSERDA-supported Ground Source Heat Pump Equipment: 2017-2019 dataset contains characteristics about the make and model of each GSHP project that participated in the Program. All GSHP projects must have an Application Submitted Date prior to 1/1/2020 to be considered NYSERDA-supported. Information about the NYS Clean Heat Program can be found at https://www.nyserda.ny.gov/All-Programs/Programs/NYS-Clean-Heat.

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) sought to accelerate the adoption of Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs) by working to develop supply chains and expand service networks to make them available in the market and supported by key actors, such as ASHP installation contractors. When initially launched, NYSERDA’s now closed ASHP Program provided incentives to solely Participating Installers for the installation of Program Qualified ASHP systems. NYSERDA’s Air-Source Heat Pump Program provided nearly $14,950,000 in incentives to Participating Installers for the installation of Program Qualified Air Source Heat Pump systems. The New York State Public Service Commission allocated funding for this program through the Clean Energy Fund (CEF) to expand the ASHP market in New York and to support installations for customers who pay (or will pay in the case of new construction) the System Benefit Charge (SBC)/CEF surcharge on their electricity bills. Incentives were available per installed Program Qualified ASHP system to Participating Installers on a first-come, first-served basis. Incentives included those that may have been retained by the Participating Installer as well as additional incentives that were paid to the Participating Installer but credited to site owners.

The NYSERDA-Supported Air Source Heat Pump Equipment: 2017-2019 dataset contains characteristics about the make and model of each ASHP project that participated in a NYSERDA ASHP program.
