NYSERDA Programs
Enhanced Commercial/Industrial Performance Program
This program of both prescriptive and performance-based incentives now includes three tiers of programs, two of which apply directly to industrial businesses. Tier I (formerly Smart Equipment Choices) is designed to accelerate the implementation of energy-efficient equipment in small renovation and equipment replacement projects. Tier III (formerly the Commercial/Industrial Performance Program) promotes energy-efficiency and demand reduction through capital improvements. Measurement and verification is required for most projects.

Demand Response Performance Based Incentive
NYSERDA offers incentives to offset the cost of equipment that enables facilities to participate in Demand Response Programs. Common measures include: load shedding controls and automation equipment, installation of new generators, or modifications to existing generators or switchgear. Bonus incentives are also available for 'fleet' installation of demand response enabled window and through-the-wall air conditioner and load shedding ballasts to offset the cost of adding integrated tamper-proof direct load control or shedding capability..

Technical Assistance / FlexTech
FlexTech provides financial incentives to conduct feasibility studies which identify efficiency improvements or provide guidance with energy-related process improvements, waste minimization opportunities, or improved productivity through capital improvements. Each project receives a customized cost proposal. NYSERDA will cost share 50% up to $50,000 on selected Technical Assistance Studies, and up to $100,000 for NYC-based ConEdison customers. Program
participants may use their own consultant or may select one of NYSERDA's pre-qualified FlexTech consultants. For more information visit:

Energy Audit Program
This program will provide energy audits to businesses to help implement energy-efficiency strategies. Audits help identify economically viable improvements that yield substantial annual energy savings and are available for various levels of
energy users. For more information visit:

Small Commercial Lighting Program
The SCLP provides businesses with an opportunity to implement effective, energy-efficient lighting solutions that provide better lit areas that cost less to operate. It provides training and assistance to businesses in designing and
installing these systems in commercial areas of approximately 25,000 square feet. For more information visit:

New Construction Program
The New Construction Program (NCP) can provide assistance to incorporate energy-efficiency measures into the design, construction, and operation of new and substantially renovated buildings. These measures are designed to save energy through reduced electric demand, and therefore reduce building operating costs. For more information visit:

Green Buildings Program
The program provides cost-shared technical assistance and financial incentives to optimize performance of new buildings and buildings undergoing major renovations. It can also assist companies in obtaining LEED certification and the
New York State Green Building Tax Credit. For more information visit:

Solar and Wind Electrical Generation Programs
Cash incentives are available for the installation of small photovoltaic (PV) or solar-electric systems and wind generators. The program is only available for PV or wind systems purchased through an eligible installer. PV incentives are capped at 50kw for commercial installations and could help offset the total installation costs of a PV system by 40-70%. Wind incentives could help offset the total installation costs of a wind system by 15-70%.
