The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) is a multi-state cap-and-trade mechanism where polluters of greenhouse gas emissions must either reduce emissions or purchase emissions allowances. New York State allocates funds received from selling allowances to the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) to manage programs aimed at reducing fossil fuel consumption. The Summary of Portfolio Benefits from RGGI-funded Projects dataset includes the total estimated energy savings, greenhouse gas emission reductions, and participant energy bill savings from program activities within NYSERDA’s RGGI portfolio.
