NYPA’s Environmental Justice (EJ) program is driven by our commitment to always be a good neighbor to the historically underserved and marginalized communities located near our statewide facilities and assets.

Community collaboration and engagement are the hallmarks of this program. We leverage our expertise in energy and energy technology to provide no-cost programs and services that meet the unique needs of our communities.
Workforce Development
Workforce Development
NYPA was authorized, as determined to be feasible and advisable by its Board of Trustees, to invest up to $25 million annually in workforce training. This allows us to help to support the renewable workforce of the future via workforce training initiatives to support the renewable energy sector.
Supplier Diversity

The Supplier Diversity team helps to empower minority and women-owned business enterprises (MWBEs), service-disabled veteran-owned (SDVOB), and small business enterprise (SBE) firms to unveil their full potential, make connections, and drive the economic engine of progress in building business opportunities.
