Infrastructure consulting firm AECOM has been awarded a program management services contract by the New York Power Authority (NYPA), the largest state public power utility in the US. AECOM will manage various capital improvement projects under NYPA’s VISION2030 strategic plan, which aims to provide affordable, clean, and reliable electricity as part of New York’s energy transition.
“We are proud to build on our long-standing partnership with NYPA as we support its mission to advance a carbon-free and economically vibrant New York,” said Bane Gaiser, chief executive of AECOM’s U.S. East & Latin America region. “Our multidisciplinary, integrated approach to project and program delivery combined with our global leadership in the energy transition prepare us to deliver innovative, sustainable energy solutions for this landmark program.”
Under this contract, AECOM will provide program management services including engineering, design, and procurement to assist NYPA in delivering its capital projects. As one of the few global infrastructure firms accredited by the National Association of Energy Service Companies (NAESCO), AECOM is positioned to deliver cost-effective, energy-efficient improvements across NYPA’s facilities.
“As an industry leader in program management services for large-scale capital programs, our teams are well positioned to continue delivering transformative infrastructure projects for NYPA,” said Drew Jeter, chief executive of AECOM’s Program Management global business line.
NYPA’s VISION2030 plan includes enhancing hydropower, decarbonizing natural gas plants, leading transmission development, meeting energy goals, and reimagining the New York State Canal System. The plan aims to transition New York to a carbon-free energy landscape, aligning with AECOM’s Sustainable Legacies strategy to achieve net zero, improve social outcomes, and promote sustainable development.
