Our History

Originating from the 2017 “REV Connect” program, NY Grid CONNECT evolved to address the “Reforming the Energy Vision” strategy. Since then, it has enabled State utility companies to collaborate with innovators, accelerating solutions to significant energy challenges.

In 2023, after the Climate Action Council advanced a Scoping Plan for New York’s greenhouse gas emissions reduction, renewable energy use increase, and clean energy transition, REV Connect transformed into NY Grid CONNECT, with a refocused aim to modernize the State’s electric grid.
