Regional Clean Energy Hubs

New York State is embarking on a transition to an inclusive clean energy economy. All residents, businesses, and communities statewide will have access to new opportunities to benefit from this transition, including clean energy careers, home improvements, and incentives to lower the cost of clean energy technologies like electric vehicles and heat pumps. But these various opportunities come with a lot of information to digest, and people may not know where to start.

To help New Yorkers access and navigate these opportunities in the clean energy economy, NYSERDA created the Regional Clean Energy Hubs.

Clean Energy Hubs: An Introduction

Your Hub is a team of trusted, knowledgeable, community-based organizations in and from your region of the State. They have experience with clean energy, energy efficiency, workforce and economic development, education, health, and housing.

Hubs help and provide information to individuals, small businesses, and affordable housing owners about the benefits of the clean energy economy, ways to reduce energy use and costs, and how to make more informed energy decisions.

A Regional Clean Energy Hub can:

• Describe the “clean energy economy” and what it means for communities
• Assist with accessing job training and employment in the clean energy sector
• Discuss a home energy assessment and why it would be useful
• Help someone fill out an application for a free home energy assessment 
• Show what types of energy incentives a person or business may qualify for
• Share information about clean energy upgrades and equipment like, heat pumps, solar energy, and weatherproofing, plus available incentives to reduce costs
• Find a qualified contractor to perform clean energy upgrades
• Locate a community solar program and help residents and businesses sign up for it 

New York Is Evolving

New York State is committed to meeting the clean energy goals set by the Climate Act. These goals will change how the State is powered, create cleaner communities, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, develop new sectors in the workforce, and advance an equitable and sustainable economy that all New Yorkers can take part in.

NYSERDA is committed to advancing energy and climate justice through investments in our economy and workforce that address historic inequities and improve health and resilience for all New Yorkers, especially historically marginalized communities.
