#ValueThatMatters: We work as one team, putting our trust and confidence in each other. We are mindful of how our actions affect others, encourage open communication and feedback, and create opportunities for others to learn, develop, and grow. As we look ahead, we are inspired by our many past successes and the enormous potential that lies before us. We are united in our excitement and commitment to these challenges. We are poised to deliver on this vision with innovation, determination and a deep sense of purpose that will bring lasting benefits to all who live and work in New York State.

#ValueThatMatters: We draw strength from our diversity – everyone contributes, everyone belongs. We respect and listen to diverse perspectives, create a safe environment for all, advocate for what’s right, and ensure fairness in providing opportunities and recognition. We cannot achieve the goals of a clean energy future without everyone in our organization sharing their talents and ideas and continuing to push ourselves to grow together. Our workplace reflects the rich diversity of New York. Together, we meet each other where we are, creating opportunities to grow, advance in our careers and enjoy our shared success.

#ValueThatMatters: We are resilient and use our ingenuity to make big things happen. We plan for the future with curiosity, optimism, and flexibility, continually seeking improvements in efficiency while learning from our experiences to adapt and recover quickly. As NYPA builds a path to a cleaner, greener more equitable energy future, we will face challenges. But we are ready to take on these challenges, and we are determined to redefine energy in New York while creating lasting value for our stakeholders — now, and for generations to come.

This Employee Appreciation Day, I’m happy to celebrate the most important part of NYPA and Canals: our people. Our employees drive our success. I’m continuously impressed with our teams’ passion  for their work and continuous  achievements at our organization. It’s not just what we do; it’s how we do it. Our values help us strive for a work environment where support, collaboration and respect are central to how we engage, and everyone feels safe and empowered to learn and grow. I’m honored that our employees feel they can have meaningful careers here aligned with on our Mission and Vision. NYPA was recently ranked by Forbes magazine through employee feedback as a best mid-sized employer in America, listed 30th overall and first in the utilities industry. On behalf of our leadership team, THANK YOU to our team for your dedication and the impact you continue to make within our organization and across New York State. 

#ValueThatMatters: We hold ourselves to the highest standards of integrity, safety and excellence. We take responsibility for both our own and others' safety, act with honesty and ethics, balance quality with efficiency, and are accountable for delivering results and meeting our commitments. The 2023-24 State Budget Enactment significantly expands our role in the renewable energy sector. The Budget Enactment amended the Power Authority Act to give NYPA additional authority to develop, own and operate new renewable energy generation projects. Notably, NYPA is authorized to partner with other entities to develop new renewable generation projects, paving the way for public-private partnerships on projects.

#ValueThatMatters: We work for the greater good and a stronger, sustainable NY. We prioritize serving the people of New York State by responsibly managing resources, making long-term decisions, and advancing the state's leadership in the transition to clean energy. Our long-standing commitment to the environment can be seen in our stewardship of NYPA property, our leadership in energy efficiency and clean energy generation, and our sustainability practices at our facilities and visitors centers. More than 80% of the electricity NYPA produces is clean renewable hydropower.

Today, on #EmployeeAppreciationDay, we express our gratitude to all those who help us power and preserve New York State, from keeping the lights on to maintaining our beautiful canal waterways. Thank you to all of our more than 2,500 employees across both NYPA and the NYS Canal Corporation for your hard work and dedication. Our values support our vision, shape our culture, and reflect our beliefs. Follow our page today as we highlight our values.

How has technology changed in the more than 20 years that IT Director of Product Development Maria He has been with NYPA? Take an in-depth look at the past, present and future of technology:

Charging Through the Storm ❄️ While extreme cold conditions often challenge battery-based solutions, significantly reducing their performance and capacity, our ZOOZTER, a kinetic power booster, stands resilient. The pictures, taken at a New York Power Authority (New York Power Authority) site in Upstate New York after days of heavy snow, showcase the ZOOZTER reliably supporting EV charging, unfazed by the freezing temperatures and unrelenting snow. Powered by our innovative flywheel-based mechanical technology, the ZOOZTER is immune to external cold temperatures, maintaining consistent performance in any weather. Reliability and sustainability, no matter the conditions. www.zoozpower.com
