ESF's location has one of the highest feasibility rankings in New York State under the Geothermal Clean Energy Challenge sponsored by NYPA (New York Power Authority) and NYSERDA (New York State Energy and Research Authority). We successfully applied for this NYPA program in the spring of 2018. The first few stages have been funded by NYPA.
