The Clean Energy Communities (CEC) Program provides grants, technical assistance and recognition to local governments to save money, foster a vibrant economy, and improve the environment. The program aids municipalities in completing high-impact actions identified by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA).
The Central New York Regional Planning and Development Board serves as the coordinator for the Western Upstate New York Territory, while the Capital District Regional Planning Commission deploys coordinators for the Eastern Upstate New York Territory. The two organizations share marketing duties for the Clean Energy Communities program.
Clean Energy Communities Program Update: As of 12 p.m., November 7, 2024, the Clean Energy Communities program is not accepting submissions for completed High Impact Actions. Please continue to check NYSERDA's CEC website for program updates.
