As cooler temperatures roll in, we've completed installation of new energy-efficient heating systems at New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA)'s Berry Houses on Staten Island. More than 875 residents in nearly 500 apartments will now have reliable heat & hot water, while also helping to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions. https://lnkd.in/eBxd76_Y

Four new EVolve NY fast chargers for EVs are now open in Churchville in Monroe County, off I-490 west of Rochester. The first federally funded station in the Finger Lakes, the chargers are part of a statewide build-out of “gap” areas along designated highways and conveniently located at 32 S. Main Street, adjacent to village offices. Thank you to the NYS Department of Transportation and Electrify America.

NYPA President & CEO Justin E. Driscoll joined industry leaders, including Exelon's Calvin Butler, Edison Electric Institute's Patricia K. Vincent-Collawn & moderator Missy Henriksen, at the Center for Energy Workforce Development (CEWD) Summit to discuss strategies for building a skilled, diverse #energy?workforce. NYPA is a leader in workforce and economic development initiatives in communities across New York State, especially those in historically disadvantaged communities.?NYPA?internships and programs with New York high schools and colleges are critical to creating and forging these clean energy career pathways. By offering hands-on experience and mentorship, we help students gain valuable skills while fostering early connections to career opportunities in renewable energy. These relationships not only support#workforcedevelopment?but also inspire the next generation of energy leaders across the?state. As NYPA leaders shared at the CEWD Summit, community-based efforts are already making an impact, and NYPA looks forward to sharing even more success stories as?our?workforce development initiatives continue to grow. In addition to that work, in?2023, New York State granted NYPA expanded authority to lead in?the development of new?#renewableenergy?generation projects?which?include a groundbreaking commitment of up to $25 million annually for workforce development in the #cleanenergy?sector.
