Yonkers Insider: City of Yonkers: Yonkers Joins Westchester Power.

 

On January 5, 2022 Mayor Mike Spano announced the launch of the Westchester Power Community Choice Aggregation program in Yonkers, known as Westchester Power, which will provide 50,000 Yonkers households with locally sourced 100% renewable energy using hydropower beginning March 1, 2022. Starting the second week in January, eligible Yonkers residents will receive notification letters from the program administrator, Sustainable Westchester, with details of the program, energy rates and steps on how to take action on enrollment. Through the Westchester Power program, Yonkers will offset an estimated 100,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide – equivalent to 16,000 cars taken off the road for one year.

Eligible Yonkers residents can opt out of the program at AT ANY TIME without any penalty.
