Recharge New York: Customer Power Allocations and Job Commitments

Recharge New York Power is allocated to businesses and not-for-profit corporations for job retention, expansion, and attraction. The dataset lists customers, their location, power allocation in kilowatts, and the number of jobs committed. Columns include Customer, Allocation (kW), Jobs Committed, County, Region, and City.

Use Cases

• Analyzing regional economic development by aggregating Jobs Committed and Allocation (kW) by County or Region.
• Mapping program participation and power distribution using the City and County columns for geospatial analysis.
• Evaluating program effectiveness by correlating Allocation (kW) with Jobs Committed per Customer.
• Identifying major power recipients by sorting the Customer list by Allocation (kW).

Strengths

• Includes specific, quantifiable metrics for analysis: Allocation (kW) and Jobs Committed.
• Contains geospatial attributes (County, Region, City) enabling location-based analysis.
• Dataset is maintained on multiple platforms (Socrata, Data.gov), indicating official importance and accessibility.

Limitations

• Conflicting 'last updated' dates exist across sources (2026-04-11 and 2026-01-09), casting doubt on data freshness.
• Key metadata is missing from some sources: row count, license, author, and original collection method are unknown.
• The 'Data valid as of' column suggests a point-in-time snapshot, but the update frequency and historical coverage are unclear.
