faq
1. IS THIS REALLY FREE?
Yes, the information is free, as are many of the services we will recommend to you. We will always try to help you find rebates and take advantage of incentive programs to make these improvements as affordable as possible.
2. WHO IS DOING THIS?
The Regional Clean Energy Hubs are funded by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). You can learn more about the program here.
3. WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS?
NYSERDA is a public benefit corporation committed to advancing energy and climate justice through investments in our economy and workforce that address historic inequities and improve health and resilience for all New Yorkers, especially historically marginalized communities.
4. HOW IS CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTING ME?
The climate crisis is affecting New Yorkers through changes in temperature, precipitation, sea level rise, and extreme weather events. Climate change will have an unequal impact on communities of color because it is a threat multiplier, meaning it will layer upon existing public health, economic, and racial injustices in New York City, the United States, and around the world.
5. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE?
Become a WE ACT member today and get involved in our Climate Justice Working Group to work with fellow New Yorkers to implement equitable climate change solutions at the city, state, and federal levels.
