Help Us Understand Your Community’s Solar Needs

The Southern Tier Clean Energy Communities team is working to better support municipalities in navigating solar projects in the area.

Through our friends at the Central New York Regional Planning and Development Board, we can offer free technical assistance throughout the region. Additionally, our partners at Cornell Cooperative Extension's AgSolar Team can provide information and resources for solar and storage projects in your area.

This short survey will help us identify gaps and needs in solar and battery storage support for planning and zoning boards, municipal officials, and all Southern Tier residents.


Clean Energy Project Resources for Municipalities

Municipalities can pursue energy efficiency and clean energy projects that will reduce energy use and costs as well as create a healthier and more sustainable environment for their residents and businesses.

Our friends at Smart Energy Choices of the Southern Tier have created this guide to programs that exist to help municipalities take on clean energy projects and a list of additional resources.

Municipalities are welcome to reach out to Southern Tier Regional Clean Energy Communities program and coordinators for support with projects. Contact Christopher Skawski at cjs359@cornell.edu for more information and support with these resources.
