Over 3,000 jobs to be created through Recharge NY Power
ALBANY -Governor Andrew Cuomo Monday announced that 38 businesses across New York State will create an estimated 3,200 jobs as a result of low-cost power allocated through the third round of the ReCharge NY power program.

The program is designed to spur economic development in all corners of the state by providing low-cost power to businesses and other entities that agree to create or retain jobs.

The first two rounds of ReCharge NY provided low-cost power allotments to more than 600 businesses and 76 not-for-profit organizations, helping retain nearly 385,000 jobs. The power allocations announced Monday were approved by the New York Power Authority Board of Trustees, and are the first allocations from the ReCharge NY program to be tied directly to job creation.
