WNYEDF (Proceeds) Program
New York Power Authority (NYPA)
About This Grant
The Western New York Power Proceeds program is made possible through net earnings resulting from the sale of unused economic development hydropower generated at NYPA's Niagara Power Project. The Western New York Power Proceeds Act, passed in December 2012, allows NYPA to deposit the net earnings from the market sale of unallocated Expansion and Replacement Economic Development Power into a fund, which can then be used to support economic development projects within a 30 mile radius of the NiagaraPoer Project. Eligible projects are considered under six funding tracks, including Workforce Development: Identifying high concentrations of underemployed and underrepresented populations in a Region and creating programs that will train those populations to match the needs of Industry in the Region.
