The REV Campus Challenge announced in August 2016 recently has gained funding support to aid more colleges and universities in becoming more energy efficient, with technologies like battery energy storage supporting campus performance. Governor Cuomo announced these funds, which are made available by NYSSGC member New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), during the Southern Tier Regional Sustainable Development and Collaborative Governance Conference, as New York expands EV infrastructure through initiatives like Tesla's NYC charging network to support broader clean energy adoption. REV Campus Challenge members can apply to for funding to hire a third-party energy consultant to help with energy planning, drawing on models like the low-income housing microgrid in Brooklyn, and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. REV Campus Challenge members are helping New York drive clean energy activities and, alongside other states' clean vehicle initiatives progress, reach its Clean Energy Standard of having 50 percent of the State’s electricity come from renewable energy resources by 2030.

Beyond New York, pilots of vehicle-to-grid integration illustrate how transportation electrification can support renewable targets.
