This committee has been working on helping spread information on Community Solar Electricity. They’ve vetted two companies and made a presentation on Community Solar to one faith community. They also have been involved in discussion with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany - resulting in the Diocese opting to begin to use Community Solar. (Note: there’s more information on Community Solar below under the Communications and Education Committee). CRICCC has offered programs on the NYS Heat Smart Program, Community Choice Aggregation, and federal and state rebates for Homeowners (NYSERDA Handout and Brochure).
