our mission

NYAPP was created in 2005 as a non-profit, non-partisan organization operating in a complex energy market. Its purpose is to advance the interests of its members and their customers and provides services that ensure adequate and reliable electric service at a reasonable price. 


The goals of the organization include:

  • Maintain a financially sound organization while providing safe and reliable low-cost energy and service to our members.

  • Develop and/or support the development of programs that are focused on reducing energy usage and peak energy demand while improving member load factor.

  • Maintain ongoing oversight of the wholesale energy market/NYISO process to achieve a reasonable cost of energy and transmission and to insure the correct application of FERC’s Order 888 and 889 as well as the NYISO OAT. 

  • Develop programs to assist members in promoting economic growth within their communities and provide for the most efficient use of NYPA Economic Development Power.

  • Monitor ongoing legislative activities in Washington D.C. and Albany, and keep members apprised of events and legislation that will affect them and promote strong and active involvement in these areas.
