HUDSON VALLEY – The Community Choice Aggregation Administrators of New York has announced that City of Poughkeepsie; towns of Gardiner, Marbletown, New Paltz, Philipstown, and Saugerties; and villages of Cold Spring, Nelsonville, New Paltz, and Saugerties are being awarded the ECO-Action Champion Award for their clean energy leadership.
These municipalities have come together to create a Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) program with renewable electricity, which is recognized by the state as one of the most powerful climate actions a municipality can take.
The award recognizes communities and organizations that are actively accelerating the clean energy transition through actions such as CCA. Together, the communities proved the power of local climate action by implementing the community-based renewable electricity CCA program Hudson Valley Community Power. The program has so far enabled 23,000 households to switch to renewable energy.
