Kathy Hochul said. \u201cBy promoting innovative policies that will create more sustainable climate technology, we are taking bold action to meet the challenges of climate change. My administration remains laser focused on supporting key initiatives that will benefit both businesses and consumers while contributing to our state\u2019s nation-leading climate efforts.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) will select a program administrator to develop the new initiative, manage operations, leverage industry expertise, and boost research and development to establish new risk models.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The program administrator will also select innovative insurance ideas, products, and services, such as insurance for residential and commercial renewable energy projects, that will develop new business models to enable future climate technology solutions.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The program administrator will be awarded up to $1.5 million to work with managing general underwriters (MGUs) and managing general agents (MGAs) that can research, develop, and test new insurance products, and it will award up to $5 million in competitive grants which are anticipated to be announced in 2023.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span class=\"s1\"><span class=\"s2\"><!--more--><\/span><\/span><\/b>\u201cAddressing the financial risks from climate change through the research, development and advancement of insurance innovation for clean, efficient technologies is a win-win for New York businesses and consumers alike,\u201d said NYSERDA<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>President and CEO Doreen M. Harris. \u201cThe availability of this important R&amp;D funding will ultimately support new business models that seek to overcome barriers for bringing new products to market and build on Gov.

This includes soliciting new insurance ideas, managing the development and growth of the program, and reducing risk for climate technology solutions and services.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This program is supported through NYSERDA\u2019s Novel Business Model and Offering initiative, which promotes new business models, commercial service or product offerings, and tools that enable scaling of climate solutions through customer acquisition or increased capital flows.

More than $1.8 billion in private investments and $200 million in project finance capital have been created while helping bring more than 589 new and improved clean energy products to market, including LED lighting systems, home appliances, longer-lasting batteries, and more efficient heating-and-cooling systems.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>Funding for this initiative is provided through the state\u2019s 10-year, $5.3 billion Clean Energy Fund.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new program focused on the research and development of new insurance policies and products to promote the adoption of clean technologies across New York state is on the way.\u00a0 The program will provide funding for products that manage the financial risk associated with climate change, supporting the state\u2019s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":89,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37825","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-insurance-employee-benefits"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 -
