NYSERDA
NYSERDA, the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, has been advancing energy innovation in New York since 1975, when it was created through the reconstitution of the New York State Atomic and Space Development Authority. Today, NYSERDA serves as a trusted public-benefit corporation working to accelerate New York’s clean energy transition through objective analysis, technical expertise, funding, and partnerships. As New York evaluates the next generation of nuclear technologies, NYSERDA is co-leading the State’s Master Plan for Responsible Advanced Nuclear Development, to assess the range of relevant issues and provide recommendations on a state policy framework for advanced nuclear. Through this process, NYSERDA is bringing together public agencies, industry, labor, academia, and communities to examine how advanced nuclear energy can support a reliable, affordable, zero-emission electric grid. Rooted in New York’s atomic-energy legacy and focused on innovation, safety, and public benefit, NYSERDA is helping shape a coordinated approach to the responsible role of nuclear energy development as part of a diverse energy resource mix that meets New York’s growing energy needs. NYSERDA is also leading the NextGen Nuclear New York initiative to ensure a skilled workforce and ecosystem to support the industry. These collective efforts support Governor Hochul’s Nuclear Reliability Backbone initiative to facilitate a cost-effective pathway to four gigawatts of new nuclear, that will combine with existing nuclear generation and a New York Power Authority one gigawatt project, to create an 8.4-gigawatt Nuclear Reliability Backbone.
