Fuel Savings Estimates From RGGI-Funded Projects

Estimated non-electric energy savings by fuel type result from Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI)-funded projects managed by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). The data tracks savings from both installed and anticipated projects funded by New York's allocation of RGGI allowance revenues. The dataset was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze total estimated savings by fuel type (e.g., natural gas, heating oil) across RGGI-funded projects.
• Compare energy savings between installed versus anticipated project phases.
• Assess the distribution of RGGI allowance funds across different fuel-saving initiatives.
• Track progress of NYSERDA's programs in reducing reliance on specific fossil fuels.

Strengths

• Data is directly tied to a major multi-state cap-and-trade program (RGGI).
• Includes estimates for both completed and planned projects, providing forward-looking insight.

Limitations

• Specific data volume (row count, column count) and temporal coverage are unknown.
• Data is limited to projects funded through New York State's RGGI allocation, not the entire RGGI region.
