State officials are seeking applications for up to $250 million to fund large-scale clean-energy generation projects – including wind farms, fuel cells, biomass and renewable biogas facilities, and upgrades to small or mid-sized hydropower operations – as part investments to promote renewable energy.

The funds will come from the ninth round of the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority’s Renewable Portfolio Standard program.
