"The [sub-national level] is where we can incubate and to effectuate the private sector shifts that we see happening every day. We are looking to move markets in a direction that can improve not only quality of life, but the very metrics that we're solving for. And when you look at this over years or even decades, you can see the pace accelerating and market momentum taking off."

Doreen Harris on Electric Ladies Podcast

As the fourth largest state in the U.S., New York consumes a staggering amount of electricity annually to power an economy that ranges from finance to manufacturing, so it’s facing the reality every state faces today: how to meet its growing energy demands and mitigate climate change. Enter NYSERDA, an agency which has been at the frontlines of the clean energy transition for 50 years, and is showing how clean energy on the state level leads the way to the clean energy future we need to address the climate crisis. How are they doing it?

Doreen Harris, President and CEO of NYSERDA, the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority on Electric Ladies Podcast talks about it. She explains how NYSERDA is balancing acting urgently on climate change and deploying innovative solutions that drive cost efficiency, economic growth, and a higher quality of life for all New Yorkers. 

You’ll hear about:

  • Why modernizing the grid and integrating new technologies are essential to New York’s clean energy transition.
  • NYSERDA’s role in driving innovation in renewable energy, energy storage, advanced nuclear, and hydrogen – and what other states can learn from them.
  • How federal funding from the Inflation Reduction Act and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is accelerating deployment.
  • Plus, career advice from a woman who become the first president of NYSERDA who came from within the organization.

 "I asked to do things that maybe others weren't bold enough to say. I identified needs, I put myself in positions of exposure, and ultimately was successful in delivering on them. In doing so, not only did I build a portfolio that is a game changer for the State of New York, but this allowed me to be exposed to areas, stakeholders and people outside of the organization. It all starts by being confident in your ability to deliver and to be able to say so."
