Staffed by a team of Energy Circuit Riders (ECRs), our Clean Energy Program collaborates with community leaders and partner organizations to provide equitable access to climate smart initiatives, while growing our region’s clean energy workforce.
Programs for Municipalities
ANCA works closely with municipal leaders to navigate local, state and federal clean energy initiatives. ECRs are currently implementing NYSERDA and a number of interagency programs in the 7-county North Country region.
Opportunities for Businesses and Nonprofits
Our Clean Energy Team works closely with staff from other ANCA programs and regional partner organizations to provide support for businesses and nonprofits who wish to adopt clean energy upgrades and improvements for cleaner, more efficient buildings and infrastructure.

We aim to increase visibility, support, and funding for the rapid transition to clean transportation across the region for passenger, mass transit, and commercial vehicles.
