PROGRAM ANNOUNCEMENTS
What is Rockland Community Power?
Rockland Community Power is a community choice aggregation (CCA) program—comprising communities in New York’s Rockland County—that enables participants to pay less for renewable (or “clean”) energy than they’ve historically paid for traditional (or “dirty”) electricity.
The participating towns and villages have banded together to pool local electricity demand in order to leverage the collective buying power of their residents and small businesses in an effort to secure more favorable energy supply rates, protect consumers, and support the generation of clean energy in NY State.
The participating communities with active electricity supply contracts through the program are the Towns of Clarkstown and Orangetown and the Villages of Grand View-on-Hudson, Haverstraw, Nyack, and Upper Nyack.
The prospective communities with no active electricity supply contracts through the program are the Villages of Piermont, Suffern and West Haverstraw.
This program was formed in partnership with Joule Community Power.
Accomplishments
Since the program launched in November 2020, more than 21,000 residents and small businesses chose 100% renewable electricity at a fixed price that is lower than they historically paid for fossil fuel-based standard electricity.
