Clean Path New York is focused on solving complex challenges and meeting New York State’s ambitious climate goals
This $11 billion infrastructure project will enable the delivery of more than 7.5 million megawatt-hours of emissions-free energy into New York City every year, 100% of which will be generated in New York State. The project will meet New York State’s ambitious climate goals, create 8,300 jobs and save New York State ratepayers millions in energy costs in its first 25 years of operation. Clean Path NY gives all New Yorkers access to renewable energy from New York State, and offers a solution to New York’s “Tale of Two Energy Grids.” Clean Path NY is a partnership between The New York Power Authority (NYPA), energyRe and Invenergy.
