NEW YORK- The creation of Long Island’s first integrated Smart Energy Corridor is being proposed by the Long Island Power Authority in collaboration with Stony Brook University and Farmingdale State College. Supporting the proposal are Gov. David A. Paterson and Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.) .
LIPA will seek funding for the Smart Energy Corridor under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
Locally, the initiative would assist all LIPA customers in monitoring and reducing energy usage as well as increasing reliability, according to a statement by the governor’s office.
