Westchester Power

Westchester Power demonstrated how communities can take charge of their energy procurement to achieve their clean energy goals. Recognizing the potential of this approach, dozens of communities across NY State have followed this lead and established similar programs. Westchester Power is a community choice aggregation program that offer bulk fixed-rate renewable electricity to its member municipalities. Today 28 of 45 Westchester municipalities have selected the Westchester Power program as the default supplier for their residents and small businesses. The impact is significant, as participation has mitigated over half a million tons of CO2 in the first three years of the program. All of this has been achieved while leveraging the collective buying power of over 115,000+ customers to lock in fixed rates, thereby offering an opportunity to control costs for residents.
