Current company

New York Power Authority

Utilities · 2.3K employees · Founded 1931 · White Plains, New York, United States

The New York Power Authority (NYPA) is the largest state public power organization in the U.S., founded in 1931 with the mission to harness the State’s natural resources to provide reliable power at a low cost. NYPA generates nearly a quarter of New York State’s electricity and operates one‑third of its transmission lines. More than 80 percent of NYPA’s power comes from clean, emissions‑free hydropower, supporting the state’s progress toward a sustainable energy future. As a public entity governed by New York State rather than private investors, NYPA exists to advance the public interest and is primarily self‑funded through the sale of the electricity it produces—not taxpayer dollars. Its operations span electricity generation and storage, statewide transmission, customer services and partnerships, and oversight of the New York State Canal Corporation as a subsidiary. NYPA’s diverse customer base includes businesses, non‑profits, government facilities, and local municipal utilities across the state. We're leading the charge toward a carbon‑free, economically vibrant New York, and now, we’re leading boldly into the future of energy with new initiatives including advanced nuclear energy development. At the same time, we're scaling renewable energy sources such as offshore wind, solar and battery storage initiatives. Beyond energy, we're also revitalizing the iconic New York State Canal System, boosting upstate economies and supporting local communities. At NYPA, our people are at the heart of our success. Their dedication and ingenuity have earned us national recognition as a Forbes Best Midsize Employer and as a top workplace for new grads and engineers. This reflects our commitment to fostering an innovative, inclusive and rewarding workplace. At NYPA, we’re not just keeping the lights on—we’re lighting the way to a stronger, cleaner, more resilient future for all New Yorkers. For more information, visit www.nypa.gov.
