Estimates of the costs of renewable energy technologies for New York State
The findings of Urban Systems Research and Engineering on the costs of renewable energy technologies in New York state are summarized. The input will be used by the First New York State Energy Master Plan and will assist the State Energy Office in determining the appropriate role and likely level of market penetration for renewable energy technologies through 1995. The costs associated with individual renewable energy technologies are identified and life cycle costs are presented for most renewable energy technologies. Technologies discussed are: solar active space and water heating for residential and commercial users; solar active heat generation for industrial process heat; solar passive space heating; solar photovoltaics energy conversion; resource recovery; small hydroelectric generation; wood and other biomass energy; wind; and geothermal energy.
