The New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) is working with stakeholders on a market-based approach, known as carbon pricing, to better align its wholesale markets with New York State’s environmental goals.

The NYISO’s Control Center celebrates a milestone. Four years ago, this state-of-the-art facility took control of the electrical grid, ensuring reliability and security of the New York power system.

Born and raised in Far Rockaway, New York, Arrissa grew up wanting to become a lawyer while studying at the University of Albany.

Distributed Energy Resources (DER) are a broad category of resources that includes distributed generation, energy storage technologies, combined heat and power systems, and microgrids.

Reliability and Efficient Markets in New York is NYISO Mission. As New York’s independent grid operator, we read with concern the recent Daily Caller article “NY’s Grid Operator Is About To Make Electricity Even More Expensive.” The article makes a number of claims that are incorrect.

Passion. It’s a quality so many of our people powering New York have, and Mike is no exception.

The thing that hooked Francine on the energy industry might not interest a lot of people, but anyone who’s deeply passionate about learning can probably relate.

When it comes to measuring electricity, it is important to distinguish between capacity and energy.

This is the time of year when New Yorkers start using air conditioners and fans to help battle the heat.

NYISO President and CEO Brad Jones responds to Chautauqua County Executive George Borrello’s June 10th commentary regarding the future of NRG’s Dunkirk facility.

Students from Hudson Valley Community College’s Job Corp program recently visited the NYISO.

The people powering New York don’t just focus on power; they focus on personal interactions as well.

How do you go from building jet engines to designing energy markets? For some people, power generation is a mission. That’s true for Whitney.

New York’s centralized bulk power system, which has existed primarily to deliver reliable energy to every corner of the Empire State, is increasingly viewed as a critical element to achieving broader public policy goals for clean energy.

Powering New York isn’t just about energy – it’s also about supporting our communities. And when it comes to volunteerism, it’s not just something we do, it’s who we are and what we believe in.

Charles Proteus Steinmetz, a mathematician and electrical engineer who served as General Electric’s chief consulting engineer, did ground-breaking work on alternating current that contributed to the development of the electric system.

Thomas Edison’s legacy as chief architect of the modern electric system overshadows many other pioneers. A commercial power system installed by Charles F. Brush preceded Edison’s 1882 launch of Pearl Street Station.

At the NYISO, we’re responsible for the reliability of the bulk electric system – a significant challenge that means most of the time we’re focused on high voltage transmission lines and large central station generating assets.

George Westinghouse was born on October 6, 1846 in Central Bridge, NY. He became a prominent entrepreneur and engineer who, as a leading promoter of the alternating current system, played a major role in the development of the modern electric system.

Our markets are powering New York responsibly for the benefit of consumers, the economy, and the environment.
