Large-scale Renewable Projects Reported by NYSERDA: Beginning 2004

Projects reported by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) include those completed, operational, cancelled, and under development beginning in 2004. The dataset includes 40+ columns such as Project Name, Developer Name, Project Status, Year of Commercial Operation, Generation Type, and Georeference. Information is sourced from NYSERDA-awarded projects under solicitations like RESRFP24-1 and ORECRFP18-1.

Use Cases

• Analyze project status and development timelines using Project Status, Year of Commercial Operation, and Year of Delivery Start Date.
• Map project locations and assess geographic distribution using Georeference, NYISO Zone, and ZIP Code.
• Model economic and contractual terms using Fixed REC Price, Index (O)REC Strike Price, and Max Annual Contract Quantity (MWh).
• Classify projects by technology and scale using Renewable Technology, Generation Type, and Energy Storage Energy Capacity (MWh).
• Track regulatory and interconnection progress using Regulatory Permitting, Article VII, and Interconnection Queue Number.

Strengths

• Includes projects from 2004 onward, providing a multi-decade view of renewable energy development in New York.
• Contains over 40 detailed columns covering technical, economic, regulatory, and locational attributes.
• Data is updated through March 31, 2026, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• The dataset does not represent all renewable projects in New York State, excluding some Long Island projects reported by LIPA.
• Projects listed as under development are subject to change, as noted in the description.
