New York State RGGI Auction Proceeds and Prices

New York State's Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) auction proceeds dataset provides results from the state's cap-and-trade program. It includes the allowance clearing price, number of allowances sold, and proceeds earned by the state from each auction. The dataset is published by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and is available in multiple formats including CSV, JSON, XML, and RDF.

Use Cases

• Analyzing trends in the clearing price per allowance over time using the 'Clearing Price ($)' and 'Auction Date' columns.
• Tracking New York State's revenue from carbon allowance auctions using the 'New York State Auction Proceeds ($)' column.
• Monitoring the volume of allowances sold by the state in each auction using the 'New York State Allowances Sold' column.
• Correlating auction results with specific regulatory periods using the 'Control Period' column.

Strengths

• Data is published by the authoritative state agency NYSERDA, ensuring official provenance.
• Available in multiple structured formats (CSV, JSON, XML, RDF) supporting diverse analysis workflows.
• Its presence on multiple government data platforms (Socrata, Data.gov) signals importance and reliability.

Limitations

• Key metadata such as row count, dataset size, and license information is not provided on any platform.
• There is a conflict in the reported 'last updated' dates between sources (2026-04-04 vs 2026-03-30), creating uncertainty about freshness.
