About Geneva Community Power
Geneva Community Power is a local renewable energy program serving residents and businesses in the New York Finger Lakes region. Those who enroll will save approximately 10% annually on electricity for up to 25 years by supporting clean energy generation. Once 400 subscribers enroll, Geneva will be awarded $25,000 for storm water control projects benefiting Seneca Lake. If the enrollment goal is met by June 26, the money can be used to apply for $75,000 in NY State matching funds, effectively quadrupling the project scope. The Town of Geneva and Joule Community Power have partnered to establish the program that allows subscribers to benefit from solar energy by spending less on electricity while supporting clean energy generation.
