Heat pumps absorb heat from the air or ground to either heat or cool your home. They are very efficient and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Learn more from Heat Smart Capital Region.
Please join us as New York State embarks on a transition to an inclusive clean energy powered economy. All residents, businesses and communities across the State will have access to new opportunities to benefit from this transition including clean energy careers, home improvements, even rebates for businesses and personal transportation. But there’s a lot of information out there, and people may not know where to start.
To help New Yorkers access and navigate these opportunities, NYSERDA created the Regional Clean Energy Hubs. Clean Energy Hubs connect people to the clean energy economy.
Take your first step and be a part of the transition to Clean Energy! While the Capital Region’s Clean Energy Hub is still in formation, we encourage you to please reach out to any one of the following organizations about how you can participate:
Affordable Housing Partnership
Cornell Cooperative Extension Albany County
Capital District Community Energy
