The Empire State Manufacturing Survey general business-conditions index slipped slightly to -15.6 in May, pointing to further deterioration in manufacturing conditions in the state.

The general business-conditions index is the monthly gauge on New York’s manufacturing sector.

Based on firms responding to the survey, the May reading indicates business activity “continued to decline” in New York state, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York said in its May 15 report.

A negative reading on the index indicates a decline in the sector, while a positive index number shows expansion or growth in manufacturing activity.

The survey found “new orders declined significantly, while shipments held steady,” the New York Fed said.

It also found optimism on the six-month outlook “remained subdued.”

Survey details

The new-orders index was unchanged at -16.5, pointing to an “ongoing significant decline” in orders, while the shipments index climbed to -1.2, suggesting that shipments “held steady,” the New York Fed said.

Unfilled orders continued to fall modestly. The inventories index came in at 2.0, indicating that inventories were steady, and the delivery-times index inched down to -9.1, suggesting that delivery times shortened.

The index for number of employees came in at -6.4, and the average-workweek index moved up to -5.8, pointing to an “ongoing decline” in employment levels and hours worked.

The prices-paid index retreated 5 points to 28.3, and the prices-received index declined 3 points to 14.1, indicating that price increases moderated slightly.

Optimism about the outlook “remained subdued.” The index for future business conditions dipped
5 points to 16.7, with only 37 percent of respondents expecting conditions to improve in the next six months. The outlook for employment growth “weakened noticeably.”

The capital-spending index fell to 6.7, suggesting that capital-spending plans “remained soft.”

The New York Fed distributes the Empire State Manufacturing Survey on the first day of each month to the same pool of about 200 manufacturing executives in New York. On average, about 100 executives return responses.

LOWVILLE — The Kraft Heinz Company (NASDAQ: KHC) plant in Lowville plans to upgrade, electrify, and decarbonize its heating process to significantly cut carbon-dioxide emissions.

It’ll use an estimated $22 million federal grant award to help pay for the effort.

The Lowville facility in Lewis County is among 10 Kraft Heinz sites across the country that will use a total of nearly $171 million for similar work, the office of U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D–N.Y.) announced on March 25.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Industrial Demonstrations Program is awarding the money, Schumer’s office said. Kraft Heinz Company is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.

“At Kraft Heinz, we’re on a journey to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050,” Pedro Navio, president of North America at Kraft Heinz, said in the Schumer announcement. “This investment from the U.S. Department of Energy will give us critical resources to make cutting-edge technology improvements in our plants, including our facility in Lowville. Not only will these funds help us lower emissions, they will create local jobs, improve training for our current and future workforce, and better the communities we serve. We’d like to thank Senator Schumer for his leadership and support over the years.”

Kraft Heinz’s “Delicious Decarbonization Through Integrated Electrification and Energy Storage Project” specifically aims to upgrade, electrify, and decarbonize its process heat at 10 facilities by applying a range of technologies including heat pumps, electric heaters, and electric boilers in combination with sustainable-fuel boilers, solar thermal, solar panels, and thermal-energy storage.

Schumer said the funding comes from the Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act. It seeks to help accelerate the North Country plant’s adoption of clean energy to lower greenhouse-gas emissions, while “creating good-paying construction jobs to strengthen the plant boosting the local economy and environment.”

“This is a major win for Lewis County and our Upstate NY’s dairy industry. Lowville’s Kraft Heinz plant has long been the cream of the crop and now the Bipartisan Infrastructure & Jobs Law and Inflation Reduction Act will help power their transition to clean energy, making sure the North Country facility will have the modern upgrades it needs to remain the ‘big cheese,’ all while creating good paying jobs and fighting climate change,” Schumer said.

Implementing the technologies at each facility is expected to reduce annual emissions by more than 300,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year, translating to a 99 percent reduction from 2022 levels for Kraft Heinz, “all while helping create hundreds of good paying construction jobs.”

The Lowville Kraft Heinz plant will use the funding to replace aging gas and other high carbon-emitting technologies with “more energy efficient and environmentally friendly alternatives,” such as heat pumps, electric heaters, and electric boilers.

In addition to the Lowville plant, Kraft Heinz will also boost its decarbonization efforts in Champaign, Illinois; Columbia, Missouri; Fremont, Ohio; Holland, Michigan; Kendallville, Indiana; New Ulm, Minnesota; Muscatine, Iowa; Mason City, Iowa; and Winchester, Virginia, Schumer’s office said.

SYRACUSE — The U.S. Green Building Council has awarded the Nappi Wellness Institute, which is part of Upstate Medical University, a LEED Gold designation.

It’s the second-highest national rating for green buildings, the health system announced on April 3.

LEED, which is short for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is the most widely used green-building rating system in the world. Nappi earned 64 points to secure the Gold designation.

The Nappi Wellness Institute — which opened June 2, 2023 — is located at 725 E. Adams St., across from the Upstate Cancer Center. It’s a five-story, 209,615-square-foot building that is home to many of Upstate’s ambulatory services.

The institute earned a Gold certification last month by adhering to prerequisites and credits during design and construction. They address carbon, energy, water, waste, transportation, materials, health, and indoor environmental quality, Upstate Medical University said.

Projects go through a verification and review process and are then awarded points that correspond to a level of LEED certification.

“We are pleased that we achieved the Gold certification because it demonstrates the commitment of SUNY as well as the University to sustainability and constructing green buildings,” Douglas Joseph, interim assistant VP for facilities, said in the Upstate announcement.

Upstate cites officials who say LEED provides a framework for healthy, efficient, and cost-saving green buildings and LEED-certified buildings are critical to addressing climate change. The health system added that LEED “looks at the big picture,” factoring in all critical elements that work together to create the best building possible. The goal of LEED is to create better buildings that reduce contribution to global climate change, enhance individual human health, protect and restore water resources, protect and enhance biodiversity and ecosystem services, promote sustainable and regenerative material cycles, and enhance community quality of life.

Building features

The Nappi Wellness Institute building has more than 26 features that helped earn the certification, ranging from air-quality control to sourcing local construction materials to installing bicycle storage and showers for staff. The building scored points for using low-emitting materials including sealants, paints, flooring materials and composites, using green and recycled materials, LED lighting with automated controls, and indoor air-quality management. The facility is a smoke-free building that also features low water consumption plumbing fixtures and green cleaning practices.

One of the sustainable practices “noticeable to patients at Nappi” is daylight harvesting, which according to Tim O’Hara, Upstate’s director of physical plant, automatically adjusts the indoor lighting based on exterior light entering the building.

All of Nappi’s waiting room areas were built along exterior walls, where they’re “bathed in natural light.” Automated shades also help to reduce the building’s heating and cooling loads, Upstate said.

“We’re not using extra energy by having the lights super bright all the time, and using that exterior light to our benefit,” O’Hara said in the announcement. “With all the public spaces on the exterior, it really gives that natural light aspect to the building, which I think for patients it makes it a lot more pleasant and enjoyable than being boxed in when you’re waiting.”

Both Joseph and O’Hara said Upstate plans to keep up the standards for the Gold certification going forward.

National Grid (NYSE: NGG) on March 20 announced it plans to invest more than $4 billion to “transform its energy delivery system and propel economic growth across Upstate New York.”

Referred to as the Upstate Upgrade, National Grid describes it as a “collection of transmission-enhancement projects [that] will deliver a smarter, stronger, cleaner energy grid to support a more resilient energy network for generations to come.”

The company says it’s embarking on more than 70 projects through 2030 that will “generate thousands of new jobs” and more than $1 billion in additional economic growth, while “ensuring the energy grid is able to meet customers’ growing demand for electricity.”

“The Upstate Upgrade represents a landmark investment and speaks to how National Grid is reinforcing the grid to meet our customers’ growing energy needs while leading the clean energy transition,” Rudy Wynter, president of National Grid New York, said in the announcement. “This six-year portfolio of work will transform the grid, improve reliability and resilience and enable us to deliver renewable energy to homes and businesses across New York.”

The effort seeks to help reach the state’s climate goals as outlined in New York’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, National Grid said and make the grid more resilient during extreme-weather events such as blizzards, tornadoes, and severe windstorms.

“Recent economic development announcements in the Syracuse region and across Upstate demonstrate that the reliability of New York’s electric grid and the availability of abundant, clean energy is a competitive advantage, nationally and globally,” Robert Simpson, president and CEO of CenterState CEO, said in the National Grid announcement. “The Upstate Upgrade will support New York’s increasing demand for electricity and encourage further investment and growth with a more efficient and resilient grid. With billions of dollars in new investment, and thousands of jobs generated directly and indirectly from National Grid’s efforts, the Upstate Upgrade will help our businesses thrive and communities prosper.”

Crews will work on reinforcing and upgrading infrastructure like transmission lines and substations, National Grid said.

The utility also believes the Upstate Upgrade will benefit local economies by bringing more than 1,700 new construction jobs and associated residual spending to local communities. The residual spending will create thousands of additional jobs, and at least $1.9 billion in overall economic output during and after construction, National Grid contends, citing a third-party analysis performed by the consultancy West Monroe.

The analysis also forecasts that Upstate Upgrade will create up to 2 percent economic growth in the project areas through 2030.

“We commend National Grid for their ambitious Upstate Upgrade initiative, a testament to their commitment to building a smarter, stronger, and cleaner energy grid for the Mohawk Valley and Upstate New York,” Nicholas Bruno, VP of business development at Mohawk Valley EDGE, said in the announcement. “These upgrades bolster our local economies by contributing to the Marcy Nanocenter’s prospective success, providing opportunities for additional industrial sites, creating new jobs, increasing property taxes, and ultimately contributing to a sustainable future aligned with New York’s CLCPA goals. By prioritizing economic development and community engagement, National Grid sets a commendable example of corporate responsibility and partnership that Mohawk Valley EDGE applauds, and we look forward to seeing the results of their efforts.”

Garry Douglas, president of the North Country Chamber of Commerce, added, “Ample and reliable power in the North Country has never been more important than it is now with the major transition to electric from other energy sources and with economic development opportunities increasingly needing larger scale power access. That’s why National Grid’s Upstate Upgrade is so welcome and important. It is a very timely and indisputably crucial investment in sustaining and growing our regional economy in the years ahead and we thank National Grid for this historic commitment.”

National Grid says it is the largest energy delivery company in upstate New York, serving electricity to 1.7 million electricity customers across 25,000 square miles.

Community solar gaining ground in New York

Community solar continues to grow as an option for businesses — and residents — who want to use green energy and also generate savings along the way, solar-energy companies say.

First allowed about a decade ago, community solar projects, also commonly called solar farms, have popped up on empty lots, on rooftops, and even on brownfield sites around the state, with each providing power to a minimum of 10 subscribers, according to the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), and giving each subscriber at least 1,000 kilowatt hours of power annually. Energy from the solar farm is fed into the electric grid, and customers receive credits on their monthly electric bill for their share of the energy.

According to NYSERDA, there are more than 800 community solar projects currently operating around the state, and each project will last between 15 and 25 years.

The advent of community solar has provided a real workable option for businesses interested in going green that lacked the space or the capital for an installation of their own, says Bruce Stewart of Perch Energy, a Boson–based solar subscription provider that works to connect subscribers to community solar. This includes two of the state’s new solar farms located in Brewerton and Scriba, which opened in February and last September, respectively.

Instead of laying out a large investment to build a solar installation, a business can subscribe to a solar farm if it is within reach of one, Stewart says. “That’s a really powerful opportunity,” he says. “You don’t have to buy the car to get the ride.”

Under this shared model, subscribers can save between 5 percent and 10 percent of their energy costs, on average, in the form of those bill credits, he adds.

Some businesses may have the space for a solar installation, but don’t want the expense of constructing it or the hassle of managing it, Stewart says. Those businesses can partner with a community solar builder and reap multiple benefits including lease payments for the land, lower energy costs as a subscriber, and help the community when others subscribe and save on their own bills.

Human Technologies Corporation in Utica is in the process of building a solar farm on land that it has owned, undeveloped, for several years. The nonprofit organization expects the project to come online later this year.

Community solar can also be an option for farmers looking for an “alternative revenue crop,” Stewart says. “You’ll see a whole mix” of projects around the state, he says.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Community Solar Partnership, there was about 7.3 gigawatts of community solar in operation in 43 states and Washington, D.C. as of December 2023. More than 75 percent of the community solar market is concentrated in Florida, New York, Massachusetts, and Minnesota.

“New York is probably the leader in the development of community solar,” Stewart contends.

One of the biggest hurdles Perch must overcome is educating customers and prospects — both business and residential — on how community solar works and how it can benefit them.

Typically, customers can start signing up about six months before a solar farm is set to open, he says. For many projects, Perch also maintains a waiting list of prospective customers interested in opting in if another customer opts out.

Perch is currently working with community solar developers around the state, with new projects expected to come online in the near future in the Rochester, Ithaca, and Syracuse areas.

ITHACA — The Finger Lakes Land Trust (FLLT) on March 6 said it was awarded $4.5 million in state grant funding through New York State’s Water Quality Improvement Project (WQIP).

The WQIP program funds projects that directly address documented water-quality impairments or protect a drinking-water source.

More than $4.4 million was awarded for conservation projects within the Skaneateles, Owasco, Seneca, and Keuka Lake watersheds.

A grant of $1,384,000 will be used to support the acquisition and restoration of lands bordering Shotwell Brook, a significant tributary of Skaneateles Lake. Shotwell Brook enters the lake near the intake for the City of Syracuse’s drinking-water supply.

The FLLT also received a grant of $1,240,000 to support projects within the Owasco Lake watershed and $1,840,000 for projects within the Keuka and Seneca lake watersheds.

FLLT projects supported by previous WQIP grants include the Otisco Shores Conservation Area on the eastern shore of Otisco Lake; the acquisition of pristine undeveloped shoreline on the eastern shore of Skaneateles Lake; and perpetual conservation easements on land bordering Six Mile Creek, which is the source of Ithaca’s drinking-water supply.

“These grants will really make a difference,” Andrew Zepp, FLLT executive director, said in the announcement. “The health of our lakes depends on the health of our watersheds. This funding will allow us to secure sensitive lands where we can implement restoration projects to ensure water quality.”

Conservation easements are legal agreements that limit future development while allowing land to remain in private ownership and on the tax rolls, FLLT said. Landowners who donate conservation easements may be eligible for both state and federal tax benefits, it added.

By working cooperatively with landowners and local communities, the Finger Lakes Land Trust has protected more than 32,000 acres of the region’s undeveloped lakeshore, rugged gorges, rolling forest, and scenic farmland. The FLLT owns and manages a network of more than 45 nature preserves that are open to the public and holds perpetual conservation easements on 187 properties that remain in private ownership.

The FLLT says it focuses on protecting critical habitat for fish and wildlife, conserving lands that are important for water quality, connecting existing conservation lands, and keeping prime farmland in agriculture. The organization also provides programs to educate local governments, landowners, and residents about conservation and the region’s unique natural resources.

Information on the region’s key destinations for outdoor recreation may be found at www.gofingerlakes.org, a resource created by the FLLT to encourage people to get outdoors. Additional information about the Finger Lakes Land Trust may be found at www.fllt.org.

MORRISVILLE — Recent graduates from SUNY Morrisville aren’t wasting any time getting to work in the renewable-energy field, the university says.

One graduate, Malcolm Ivers, is moving from Rochester to begin his new job on June 3 at RWE Renewables at its Munnsville Wind Farm, a 34.5 MW project in Madison County. In his new job, he’ll be performing general maintenance and electrical trouble shooting, among other tasks, according to a SUNY Morrisville news release.

Iver, who received an associate degree in renewable-energy technology, specifically attended SUNY Morrisville to pursue a career in onshore wind energy.

“I knew after completing the program, I would be in the job I wanted based on what I learned, skills, and real-world experience,” Ivers said in the release.

Graduate Jake Hartnett, who earned a bachelor of technology degree in renewable energy, finished an internship with Nickels Energy Solutions that led to a full-time job as a solar-project manager, SUNY Morrisville said. He is responsible for designing and planning residential solar projects from start to finish.

“SUNY Morrisville played a vital role in me obtaining this through an in-depth, hands-on curriculum, great internship opportunities, and caring educators with real-world experience,” he contended. “For this position in particular, networking through classmates and industry partners of the program helped me get a foot in the door.”

Another SUNY Morrisville graduate landing immediate work in the environmental field was Aurora Haines. She is a wildlife specialist with the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services (APHIS), in Rensselaer. Haines graduated from SUNY Morrisville’s environmental & natural resources management bachelor’s degree program.

SUNY Morrisville’s main campus in Morrisville offers more than 50 associate and bachelor’s degrees in fields including agriculture, technology, business, social sciences, and liberal arts. That includes programs in specialized areas such as renewable energy, environmental conservation, aquaculture, automotive technology, equine science, dairy management, nursing, wood technology, hospitality management, and information technology. Its Norwich campus offers associate-degree programs. The campus currently serves commuter students enrolled in industrious career and technical areas as well as liberal arts transfer programs.
