The preferred citation when using this dataset is: Stevens, A., & Lamie, C., Eds. (2024). New York State Climate Impacts Assessment: Understanding and preparing for our changing climate. The New York State Climate Impacts Assessment is an investigation into how climate change will affect New York State’s communities, ecosystems, and economy. The data and information presented will help New Yorkers plan and prepare for the impacts of climate change. The assessment also strives to show how addressing climate change provides opportunities to enhance equity and reduce the vulnerability of those most at risk.

As part of the assessment, Columbia University developed climate change projections for temperature and precipitation, extreme events, degree days, and sea level rise, downscaled to 12 regions of New York State. This dataset includes those projections of future climate conditions in New York State, for the 2030s through 2100.

NYSERDA deployed Emergency Generators and Transfer Switches at Retail Gas Stations as part of the Fuel-NY initiative through its Gas Station Back-up Power Program and Permanent Generator Program using FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funding. This dataset is a complete listing of all installations under the two programs, which ran from 6/1/2013 through 1/26/2019. This dataset contains business names, locations, and the type of installation for program participants.

These efforts improved the resiliency of the retail gasoline system in the downstate New York area by providing back up power options to gas stations.

These stations have either the capability to easily accept backup power or have a backup generator permanently installed on site. The equipment allows the stations to mitigate the effects of power outages, increase the availability of fuel, and support first responders during and after emergencies and severe weather events. Additional socioeconomic benefits are achieved by supporting residents and early recovery efforts with continued access to fuel as well as food, grocery, and necessary household items, increasing the resiliency capabilities of their communities.

In the April 2022 budget passed by the New York State Legislature and signed by Governor Hochul, the State established a deadline for the transition to zero-emission buses. Specifically, all school buses in the State must be zero-emission buses by 2035. In 2022, voters across NYS overwhelming voted for the Clean Air, Clean Water and Green Jobs Environmental Bond Act (Bond Act) which includes $500M to support the transition to zero-emission school buses. NYSERDA has established the NY School Bus Incentive Program (NYSBIP) to achieve these State public purposes and assist school districts in meeting the zero-emission bus timelines.
NYSBIP is a voucher incentive program which will accelerate the deployment of zero-emission school buses and charging infrastructures throughout New York State. Zero-emission school buses include both electric school buses and hydrogen fuel cell school buses (collectively referred to as ESBs). This dataset focuses on the school bus-side of the program. The dataset is compiled from the information collected throughout the project application process.

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.
