Mission

As the nation’s largest state public power organization, the primary mission of the New York Power Authority (NYPA) is to power the economic growth and competitiveness of New York State by providing customers with low-cost, clean, reliable power, and the innovative energy infrastructure and services they value.

Budget Highlights

NYPA, through its subsidiary the Canal Corporation, will continue to maintain, operate, develop, and make capital improvements to the 524-mile navigable waterway, which includes 57 locks, 17 lift bridges, numerous dams, reservoirs, and water control structures. The Executive Budget includes reappropriations of $4.3 million to fund the Canal System Development Fund. Revenues collected from canal tolls and other user fees are deposited into the Canal System Development Fund and, in accordance with the State Constitution, used exclusively for the canals.

The FY 2023 Executive Budget includes appropriations of $43 million related to the State's repayment of funds previously transferred by NYPA to the State, and a $29 million reappropriation to sustain the Erie Canalway segment of the Empire State Trail.

The FY 2023 executive budget includes legislation which would authorize NYPA to provide energy services to general hospitals in the state. Currently, general hospitals that are neither government entities nor NYPA power customers under certain NYPA power programs, are not eligible to access NYPA energy services. General hospitals are intensive energy users and allowing more of these institutions to access NYPA energy services will advance the state’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act goals and help these institutions reduce energy costs.
