New York State Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced a plan to fund up to $30 million for projects to better integrate renewable energy resources into the state's electric grid.

Project proposals should improve overall grid performance, reduce energy costs and support the state's clean energy goals, reports Daily Energy Insider.

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) is administering the program through its High Performing Grid initiative. Through a two-step competitive process, applicants will submit concept papers and the best of that group will be invited to submit full proposals for further evaluation. Awards will then be made from those evaluations.

Concept papers will be accepted through Nov. 18, 2020, or until funds are exhausted. The request for proposals will have one of five categories: technology feasibility studies, research studies, engineering studies, product development, and demonstration projects.
