Six Rockland County Communities Launch Innovative Renewable Energy and Cost Cutting Initiative

Six Rockland County municipalities announced that they are launching a cost-cutting energy program to provide their residents and small businesses with more affordable, locally-sourced renewable energy. The initiative will be offered through Rockland Community Power (RCP), a collaborative program that enables residents and small businesses to purchase renewable energy at a fixed cost that is lower than they have paid historically for standard (non-renewable) electricity supply. The six participating communities—the Town of Clarkstown, Village of Haverstraw, Village of Nyack, Town of Orangetown, Village of South Nyack, and Village of Upper Nyack—are working in partnership with Joule Community Power (Joule) to offer the program that is scheduled to launch on November 1, 2020. Joule will serve as the Program Administrator.
