What is the Western New York Clean Energy Hub?
The WNY Clean Energy Hub is one of 12 Clean Energy Hubs around New York State dedicated to help and provide information to affordable housing homeowners, renters, and small businesses about the benefits of the clean-energy economy, ways to reduce energy use and costs, and how to make more informed energy decisions.
We’re a trusted and knowledgeable network of community-based organizations with years of experience in clean energy, energy efficiency, workforce and economic development, education, health, and housing. The WNY Hub currently has seven partner organizations in its network.
Why do we do this work?
To build resilient communities, we need a healthy environment, a strong economy with good-paying jobs, and equitable access to resources.
How do we help homeowners and residents?
We are not contractors or salespeople. Our goal is to educate about renewable energy and energy efficiency, connect our neighbors to opportunities to go green and help maintain strong sustainable communities that are in control of their energy futures.
Our team of BPI-certified Energy Advisors provides Western New York residents access to free or reduced cost comprehensive energy assessments, installation services, low-cost financing, solar, and, importantly, workforce opportunities.
We work with residents, workers, contractors, and other partners to make our communities in Western New York more sustainable by reducing energy costs and improving our health, comfort, and safety. We strive to deliver triple-bottom line benefits to local communities hit hard by long-term unemployment and high energy burdens that are good for both the environment and the economy.
