Large-Scale Renewables
To meet the Clean Energy Standard goal of achieving 70% renewably sourced electricity by 2030, NYSERDA’s Large-Scale Renewables program issues annual procurements for eligible renewable energy generators and developers interested in long-term Renewable Energy Certificates (REC) contracts.
Solicitations for developing new renewables and maintaining existing resources are made through several Tier programs.
