The Power Authority has issued an RFI as part of its initiative to develop 1 gigawatt of advanced nuclear energy in Upstate New York, seeking input from communities and potential development partners.
Impressive how NYPA is flipping the script by starting with community buy-in instead of imposing projects. The 23 developer responses versus 8 comunity submissions suggests real competition might drive better terms than the usual monopolistic RFP process. I've seen too many public energy iniatives get bottlenecked by vendor lock-in early on.
