This Request for Information (RFI) is issued by the New York Power Authority (NYPA or the Authority) to solicit input on actionable project concepts and business models in developing advanced nuclear projects in Upstate New York1 . In June 2025, Governor Hochul called on NYPA, in coordination with the Department of Public Service (DPS), to develop at least one gigawatt (1 GW) of advanced nuclear2 capacity in Upstate New York. NYPA is responding to this by evaluating the technologies, business models and locations to help bring this capacity online in partnership with other public and private entities. This initiative is intended to deliver firm, zero-emission power that complements renewable generation, strengthens grid reliability, prioritizes affordability and advances the State’s clean energy and decarbonization goals.
