Municipalities can convert their streetlights to LED to save money and energy. Municipalities that undertake the LED Streetlights High-Impact Action are also eligible for 200-900 points in the NYSERDA Clean Energy Communities Program and can use this as a High-Impact Action towards available Leadership Round Grants.
Interested in joining the 267 municipalities statewide and 46 in the Mid-Hudson region that have converted their streetlights to LEDs? HVRC can provide a free cost and carbon analysis report for municipalities across the Mid-Hudson region.
Join our webinar on Wednesday, March 30th, 2022 at noon to learn more about the conversion pathways for LED Streetlights, see the cost savings gained by your neighboring communities, and understand how HVRC's cost and carbon analysis report can help you determine which pathway is right for you. We will be joined by Town Clerk Katie Palmer-House from the Town of Dover and Finance Director Jeffrey Bencik from the Town of Orangetown who will share their experiences with LED Streetlight Conversion.

Remind me, what is the CEC Institute?

As the Mid-Hudson representative for the NYSERDA Clean Energy Communities Program, the Hudson Valley Regional Council is pleased to introduce the Clean Energy Communities Institute (CECI). Our goal for this Institute is to walk you step-by-step through the CEC High-Impact Actions and how to accomplish them. Over the next year, we will be focusing on a single High-Impact Action each month, providing action-oriented webinars, testimonials, in-person cohort-style workshops, and useful content.
The CEC Institute tri-fold brochure, hyperlinked here and visible below, provides a month-by-month overview of how we plan to get you over the finish line for each Action. All content will be sent straight to your inbox. By the end of the Institute, you will be able to take action to reduce municipal and community energy costs, and access grant funding through the completion of CEC High Impact Actions.
