The New York Higher Education Large-Scale Renewable Energy (NY HE LSRE) coalition includes 16 SUNY campuses across the state, and five private independent colleges to lower financial barriers to renewable energy by creating economies of scale. The group plans to combine the energy needs of large and small campuses to contract for supplies from qualified, large-scale solar, wind, hydroelectric and energy storage projects in New York. This will help NY campuses, which make up a significant amount of building area throughout the state, meet the energy goals of both the Governor and the SUNY Chancellor.
