The 2.4-gigawatt Robert Moses Niagara hydroelectric power plant is the fourth-largest hydroelectric power plant in the United States. In 2015, New York produced more hydroelectric power than any other state east of the Rocky Mountains.
In 2015, New York had the eighth-highest average electricity prices in the United States, down from the fourth-highest price in 2014.
To curb air pollution, in 2012 New York became the first northeastern state to require that all heating oil be ultra-low sulfur diesel.
To ensure reliability, New York regulators require electricity-generating units that can burn either fuel oil or natural gas to be ready to switch to fuel oil if natural gas supply is constrained.
The NY-Sun initiative aims to install 3,000 megawatts of small-scale (less than 200 kilowatts) solar photovoltaic facilities by 2023, and more than 15% of that target was installed by the end of 2015.
More than half of New York households (53%) use individual window or wall air conditioning units, while only 20% have a central air conditioning system, according to EIA's Residential Energy Consumption Survey.
