NYSERDA Clean Energy Grant Awards Since 1991

Records from 1991 onward detail non-equity pre-seed grants awarded by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) to support clean energy research and development. The dataset lists companies, consultants, and entrepreneurs, providing details on project titles, technologies, award amounts, and contractor locations. It is maintained by NYSERDA and updated quarterly.

Use Cases

• Analyzing funding trends over time using the 'Award Date' and 'Award Amount (US Dollars)' columns.
• Mapping the geographic distribution of clean energy innovation using 'Contractor City', 'Contractor State/Province', and 'Contractor Zip/Postal Code'.
• Identifying companies and project types active in specific technology areas via 'Primary Contractor Name', 'Project Type', and the 'Technology 1-3' fields.
• Evaluating the focus of public R&D programs by categorizing grants based on 'Technology' and 'Contractor Type' (e.g., startup vs. consultant).

Strengths

• Provides a long-term view of public investment with records beginning in 1991.
• Includes detailed project metadata such as specific technology categories, award amounts, and contractor websites.
• Maintained by an authoritative government agency (NYSERDA) and updated on a quarterly schedule.

Limitations

• Key metrics like total row count and dataset size are unavailable across all platforms.
• Conflicting 'last updated' dates exist between sources (2026-04-04 vs 2026-03-30).
