NYSERDA - Industrial and Process Efficiency Performance Incentives

May 16, 2023

Summary

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) through Program Opportunity Notice (PON) 2456 offers the Industrial and Process Efficiency (IPE) Program to provide performance-based incentives to manufacturers and data centers implementing energy efficiency and process improvements through industrial manufacturing improvement, data center improvement, new construction, and operation & maintenance. Applicants would apply for the funding online through NYSERDA Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) page.

The goal of the IPE Program is to help manufacturers and data centers increase product output and data processing to make it as efficient as possible. Incentives are available for both electric and fossil fuel efficiency improvements at both existing facilities and new construction. Facilities must pay into the System Benefits Charge (SBC) in order to be eligible for incentives. Energy savings projects can fall into several different categories, including but not limited to the examples described below.

Process Efficiency

Industrial and data center process improvements or new installations
Capacity additions that improve the energy use per unit processed
Quality improvement
Waste and scrap reduction
Throughput increase
IT improvements

Energy Efficiency

New Construction
Energy/heat recovery
Space conditioning improvement (related to IT processes)
Pumping system improvements
Compressed air efficiency
Fluid and support system improvement
Air flow management improvement

Operational and Maintenance

Compressed air system leak management
Replacement of leaking steam traps
Installation of cogged styles fan belts
Burner tune-up

Incentives are provided on a first-come, first-serve basis through December 31, 2019 or until the funding is fully allocated. The incentives are different for up-state and down-state New York. Downstate includes customers of Consolidated Edison, and Upstate include customers of Central Hudson, National Grid, NY State Electric & Gas, Orange and Rockland, and Rochester Gas and Electric.
