YONKERS – The City of Yonkers has joined the Energize NY program to provide financing for clean energy projects.
The program would help commercial property owners directly address rising
operating costs by providing critical support, tools, and long-term financing
to implement clean-energy upgrades for their buildings through assessment
levies on their property tax bills.
Projects eligible for financing include solar PV arrays, high-efficiency lighting, upgrades to HVAC systems, air sealing, and insulation to reduce electricity and primary fuel load through an existing New York State Energy Research and Development Authority or utility program.
“We want to see energy efficiency and renewable energy projects completed in Yonkers because it will save our business owners money that is currently being wasted on energy and will create the jobs that our community needs,” said City Council President Liam McLoughlin.
