Grant Description
Grants to New York qualifying P-12 schools, IHEs, and commercial, industrial, and multifamily facilities for technical assistance services to make clean energy decisions. Funding is intended for consultant services to prioritize the clean energy needs of each site. Most eligible participants must also pay into the System Benefits Charge (SBC) through their facility’s electric utility company.

The Flexible Technical Assistance (FlexTech) Program supports New York State Commercial, Industrial and Multifamily customers who pay into the Systems Benefit Charge by providing a cost-share for credible, objective technical assistance services. These services encompass a wide range of activities to help customers make informed clean energy investment and sustainability decisions. Customers faced with unprecedented new challenges, opportunities and technological change can use FlexTech to pinpoint which clean energy investments are right for them.

Customers have the option of selecting either a NYSERDA qualified FlexTech Consultant from the following list (https://www.nyserda.ny.gov/Contractors/Find-a-Contractor/FlexTech-Consultants) or an Independent Service Provider of their choosing. The Consultant will identify, analyze and prioritize energy efficiency or carbon reduction recommendations. The recommendations are tailored to the customer’s site and business needs.  Implementation of these recommendations may lead to lower annual utility costs, reduced operation and maintenance costs, extended equipment life, and increased occupant comfort.

The primary Technical Assistance Service areas available through the Program include:

  • Targeted or comprehensive technical analysis including energy studies and/or energy planning (refer to Section II)
  • Investigation of Clean Heating and Cooling Systems including Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP), Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP), Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF), and Solar Heating and Cooling
