Help with Energy Options

Just in time for the return of cold weather, hear about many ways that the Capital Region Clean Energy Hub helps homeowners, renters, and businesses access energy-related resources and programs available through the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). Bradley Towle, from Cornell Cooperative Extension, shares information on heat pumps, solar energy programs — even for those who can’t afford or install solar panels — and more. Plus the Hub has energy advisors to help people work through the options, programs, and possible financial assistance. The Hub serves Albany, Rensselaer, Schenectady, and five other regional counties. For more details, see www.cleanenergycapitalregion.org. Produced by Brea Barthel for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.
