THE NYSERDA 2023 SOILS DATA IS TO BE USED FOR NYSERDA’S RENEWABLE ENERGY STANDARD (RES) REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) ISSUED AFTER THE PUBLICATION OF THIS DATA OR THE NY-SUN PROGRAM AND IS NOT INTENDED TO REPRESENT ACTUAL IN SITU SOIL CONDITIONS. In order to facilitate the protection of agricultural lands, developers participating in RESRFPs or the NY-Sun program may be responsible for making an agricultural mitigation payment to a designated fund based on the extent to which the solar project’s facility area overlaps with an Agricultural District and New York’s highly productive agricultural soils, identified as Mineral Soil Groups (MSG) classifications 1 through 4 (MSG 1-4). This mitigation approach is designed to discourage solar projects from siting on MSG 1-4. Furthermore, this mitigation approach is designed to encourage retaining agricultural productivity on the project site. Instances where Proposers cannot avoid or minimize impacts on MSG 1-4 will result in a payment to a fund administered by NYSERDA. Disbursement of collected agricultural mitigation payment funds will be informed by consultation with the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets (AGM) to support ongoing regional agricultural practices and/or soil conservation initiatives. This dataset contains a combination of soils data from multiple sources to serve participants of NYSERDA’s Large-Scale Renewable and NY-Sun programs. The NYSERDA 2023 Soils Data was created by converting the 2023 New York State Agricultural Land Classification (https://res1agricultured-o-tnyd-o-tgov.vcapture.xyz/system/files/documents/2023/01/masterlistofagriculturalsoils.pdf) master list of soils maintained by AGM to a tabular form and providing a corresponding unique identifier for each listed soil that enables the user to link the soils to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) SSURGO soils database, allowing for a geographical representation. When the NYSERDA 2023 Soils Data is joined with spatial data from the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) SSURGO soils database (https://res1wwwd-o-tnrcsd-o-tusdad-o-tgov.vcapture.xyz/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/soils/survey/?cid=nrcs142p2_053627), the corresponding soil unit can be mapped in a geographic information system software. The latest version of the SSURGO database (https://res1nrcsd-o-tappd-o-tboxd-o-tcom.vcapture.xyz/v/soils) should be used to get the most accurate join. Data is updated yearly from both NRCS and from AGM, however, NYSERDA will not update this dataset and it will remain intact for future reference. NYSERDA intends on creating new soils datasets for future procurements on an annual basis. The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) offers objective information and analysis, innovative programs, technical expertise, and support to help New Yorkers increase energy efficiency, save money, use renewable energy, and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

This transformation moves the State closer to delivering just, equitable climate action that benefits all New Yorkers.New York’s transition to a clean energy future requires accelerated growth in offshore wind and solar, as well as a storage, transmission, and distribution infrastructure, such as power lines and substations, to move renewable energy from where it’s generated to where demand exists, especially New York City." - NYSERDA

Alaska's staggering energy consumption of over one billion British thermal units per capita in 2023 highlights the vast disparities in energy use across the United States. This figure, more than triple the national average of 277.8 million British thermal units, underscores the unique energy demand of America's largest state. Louisiana and North Dakota followed closely behind, with consumption rates of 908 and 892 million British thermal units per capita, respectively. Factors influencing regional U.S. energy consumption The extreme per person energy consumption in Alaska can be attributed to its cold climate and energy-intensive industries. By comparison, New York, California, and Florida were among the states with the lowest per person energy consumption in the country because of the high energy efficiency, mild temperatures, and economies based on services and low energy-intensive industries. The overall energy consumption in the U.S. states was highest in the most populated areas –Texas, California, and Florida- and lower in sparsely populated ones, such as Alaska and Wyoming. Future energy trends in the U.S. While individual states show significant variations, the U.S. country consumed approximately 94.2 quadrillion British thermal units of primary energy in 2024, a slight increase from the previous year. Oil remained the dominant energy source, followed by natural gas and renewable energies. The country's energy market has been evolving, with increased investments in renewable energy, reflecting a growing shift towards more sustainable energy sources.
