Data (.xlsx)

Characteristic data outlines the “what” and “where” of DER projects in New York State. By accessing the data file linked to the right, you can view the characteristics of individual DER projects at over 1,200 facilities, including facility names, locations, facility types, DER technologies used, electric generation or electric storage capacity, and more. These projects have either received NYSERDA funding or are energy storage projects that voluntarily provided information to NYSERDA.

As DER projects continue to grow throughout New York State, this data is updated as new projects are brought online.

The charts below provide an overview of the number and scale of DER projects across New York State. You can drill down on the number and capacity of DER projects by technology by changing the view to the right of each chart, where available.

About this data

The DER characteristic data available on this site includes:

  • Energy Storage: All operational energy storage projects in New York State. It includes projects funded by NYSERDA, publicly available information from interconnection queues, as well as information voluntarily shared with NYSERDA. Production reporting is required for up to three years to confirm systems are operating as designed. After that, data may not be included on this site even when a project continues to generate electricity as designed.
  • Solar: Completed and operational projects funded by NY-Sun’s Commercial & Industrial incentive program. This data set does not include all solar projects in New York. Production reporting is required for up to three years to confirm systems are operating as designed. After that, data may not be included on this site even when a project continues to generate electricity as designed.
  • Combined Heat and Power, Anaerobic Digester, and Fuel Cell: Completed and operational projects funded under now-closed NYSERDA incentive programs. This data set does not include all CHP, anaerobic digesters, and fuel cell projects in New York.
