New York is host to several major electric energy research facilities (academic, industrial and government) in providing the intellectual capital to lead the national development of the smart grid.
New York is the home of five DOE Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRCs) at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Columbia, Cornell, GE Global Research and SUNY Stony Brook. Both GE and IBM have R&D facilities headquartered in the state. Over a half billion dollars of projects and programs have been funded by NYSTAR and NYSERDA over the past decade.
Long Island is home to the Brookhaven National Laboratory, which is a leading center of electric power research. A host of prestigious academic institutions (Cornell, Columbia, Syracuse, AERTC at Stony Brook) has pioneered over 90 recent or current energy research projects.
The objective of these collective R&D efforts is to effectively harness and focus all of New York State’s research talent and resources positioning New York State to be a national R&D leader.
