Clean Energy Options For Hamden
What is the Connecticut Clean Energy Communities Program?
The Connecticut Clean Energy Communities Program is a partnership between the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund and SmartPower, whose purpose is to assist communities in the purchase and support of clean energy. Already, cities and towns throughout the state have committed themselves to clean energy campaigns, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and finding alternative solutions for reducing their footprint on the environment. This program is designed to provide communities that make this commitment with opportunities to purchase and support clean energy at no cost by making the purchase of clean energy a viable and attractive option for both businesses and residents.
The Connecticut Clean Energy Communities Program provides qualified cities and towns free clean energy systems (solar photovoltaic). By encouraging local businesses and residents to sign-up for the CTCleanEnergyOptions program (offered to Connecticut Light and Power and United Illuminating customers), cities and towns can earn free clean energy systems. For every 100 Hamden residents that sign up with the program, the town receives a free 2kw photo voltaic solar system valued at $20,000.00. There is no current limit to the number of free solar panels, so each additional 100 people signing up means additional 2kw systems installed on rooftops of municipal buildings of our choice.
