ALBION/MEDINA – Energy advisors Emily Hung, Azmery Afnan and Brett Peters from the NYSERDA Finger Lakes Clean Energy Hub conducted presentations last month at Hoag Library in Albion and Lee-Whedon Memorial Library in Medina.
The purpose was to offer free and impartial information to local households and businesses to support our community’s transition to vehicles and buildings powered by carbon-free electricity, and to connect people to state and federal programs that can help subsidize their electrification costs and home repairs.
The Finger Lakes Clean Energy Hub, also known as AMPED, is a program of the Climate Solutions Accelerator. The Accelerator is an inclusive, non-partisan, not-profit organization dedicated to inspiring and facilitating a large-scale climate mobilization in the nine-county Genesee-Finger Lakes Region, which includes Orleans and Genesee counties.
Hung, Afnan and Peters explained the programs of clean energy technology and how individuals and small businesses can access these incentives. They explained that making your home and business more energy efficient can benefit not only yourself, but the community at large by reducing emissions and air pollution, as well as creating local jobs.
Individually, you can reduce your energy bills, improve air quality in your home, and decrease the risk of gas exposure. Many people do not know that NYSERDA Clean Energy Hubs offer free advertising on what you might be eligible for, including a free energy audit on your home. Following the audit, suggestions and recommendations are then offered to the home or business owner along with information regarding financial assistance and incentive availability.
