As we wrap up #EngineersWeek and conclude our celebration of the #engineers that work to create the power of #NewYork, we introduce you to Assistant Electrical Engineer Gerardo Chaca Avila. Gerardo, based out of our White Plains office, works on expanding and upgrading power system equipment in our generating plants and substations. One of his favorite projects is Smart Path Connect, which involves building three new substations in Upstate NY and upgrading existing substations to increase the resiliency and reliability of our transmission system.

As we close out #EngineersWeek, we take a look at one of #NewYork's greatest #engineering marvels!  While the #ErieCanal wasn’t the first canal in the U.S., it was the most influential and impactful. Now commemorating its bicentennial navigation season, Engineers Ambrose Barbuto, P.E. & Mitchell Spink, P.E., who continue to maintain and innovate this vital waterway, talk about their engineering career and getting up close and personal with the Erie Canal. 

To celebrate #EngineersWeek, we unleashed the engineering beasts from NYPA & NYS Canal Corp. for our legendary Engineers Cup! 215 people from eight locations battled it out to build a catapult to help with a simulated construction project.

This #EngineersWeek, we're proud to celebrate the #engineers that are helping NYPA to usher in a bright #renewableenergy future. Hear from Senior Electrical Engineer Anil James and gain insight into some of the projects he's working on and how he's helping us on our journey to meet #NewYork's clean energy goals.

Next up in our #EngineersWeek spotlight: Meet Andrew Verderame, a Senior Mechanical Engineer in our Hydroengineering group. Andrew provides technical support and knowledge to help us maintain our #hydropower plants, like our Niagara Power Project. "It's rewarding to know that my work makes a difference in the lives of New Yorkers every day".

This #EngineersWeek, we're celebrating the brilliance of engineers who power the future, and we’re excited to announce an incredible opportunity to join our team! We're looking for a Control Systems Electrical Engineer (Real Time Systems Engineer I), to work out of our #WhitePlains headquarters. As a key member of our team, you’ll play a pivotal role in engineering, designing, and maintaining cutting-edge supervisory control systems, networks, and machine control systems that ensure the efficiency and reliability of our generation & transmission assets. Let’s make this Engineers Week one to remember by taking the next step in your career! Apply today: https://lnkd.in/eFSvkeva

What does the future of #cleanenergy in New York State look like? NYPA VP of Renewable Project Development Vennela Yadhati, P.E. joined Assemblymember Landon Dais, Esq. and other leaders & energy experts at the New York State Association of Black Puerto Rican Hispanic and Asian Legislators Inc. 54th Annual Legislative Conference in Albany this past weekend. Vennela shared insights on New York’s renewable energy goals, clean power generation, opportunity creation for MBEs in the energy field, and energy grid resiliency and protection.

NYPA is charged up as we announce the opening of four new fast chargers in Watkins Glen, a prime destination in the heart of the Finger Lakes. These chargers are part of the #EVolveNY network and make it easier for EV drivers traveling through the Southern Tier and surrounding areas. The new stations not only serve tourists but also support local residents, workers and businesses in the region. This addition strengthens New York State’s commitment to expanding its fast-charging infrastructure and promoting EV adoption, helping reduce transportation-related emissions and supporting a cleaner, more sustainable future. https://lnkd.in/eb4yrE6k

We're celebrating #EngineersWeek to recognize the achievements + contributions of our talented engineers in developing and maintaining reliable, affordable and sustainable #energy solutions for #NYS. Meet Sr. Civil/Structural Engineer Reem Kabbara, P.E., ENV SP. "My job is to assess, design and maintain the structural components of our hydroelectric plants, dams, bridges and other assets and make sure they are in compliance with industry standards and regulatory compliance.
