Community Campaigns

Local governments can undertake community campaign to increase access to clean energy in the jurisdiction through group purchasing, locally-organized community education and outreach, and a limited time offer. Communities can receive credit for Community Solar, Clean Heating and Cooling, and Electric Vehicle Campaigns.

• Community Campaigns Scoping Document [DOCX]
  This scoping document must be completed and submitted to earn credit for this action. The purpose is to help local government officials, campaign teams, and NYSERDA clearly understand the individual jurisdiction’s goals and objectives, milestones, and deliverables, as well as the roles and responsibilities of project partners, to help ensure the success of the campaign.
