NYSERDA Joins DOE’s Better Buildings Combined Heat and Power Accelerator
New York partnership to conduct pilot on Long Island
ALBANY, N.Y. — The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) announced that it has become a partner in the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Better Buildings Combined Heat and Power Resiliency Accelerator, to help improve critical infrastructure in communities. As a partner, NYSERDA will work to support and expand the use of combined heat and power (CHP) technologies for improved efficiency and enhanced resiliency.
CHP is a technology that produces both electricity and heat on-site or near the point of use and, therefore, can continue to provide power and heat to a building when the utility grid is interrupted. The technology is proven to achieve greater energy efficiency.
