Yonkers Insider: Greenburgh Town Board to hear comments Wed night on Sustainable Westchester energy proposal (ESCO).

Greenburgh Town Board to invite residents to express your comments about a proposal to participate in an opt out program to purchase renewable energy. Discussion: Wed September 23rd at 7: 30 PM In Westchester County, 27 cities, towns, and villages have come together to buy electricity in bulk through Sustainable Westchester’s community energy program, known as Westchester Power. Twenty-four of those municipalities are in a 100% renewable electricity supply. The Town of Greenburgh had participated in the Westchester Power program (the program that does not support 100% renewable electricity supply) since it began in 2016 and will not renew the current ESCO agreement because Con Ed rates have been lower. But, we are going to consider participating in the 100% renewable electricity program. Before the Town Board makes any commitment we want to hear from you -and have decided to invite residents to testify for or against the proposal. Details are on the website:under supervisors report.
