What is Hudson Valley Community Power?

Hudson Valley Community Power is a community choice aggregation program— comprising communities in NY’s Hudson Valley—that enables participants to save money on electricity by pooling electricity demand in order to leverage the collective buying power of residents and small businesses in effort to secure more favorable terms on their electricity supply, protect consumers, and support renewable generation sources.  

The participating communities with active electricity supply contracts through the program include the City of Poughkeepsie; Towns of Gardiner, Marbletown, New Paltz, Philipstown, Red Hook, Rhinebeck, and Saugerties; and Villages of Cold Spring, Nelsonville, New Paltz, and Saugerties. 

The prospective or previously active communities with no active electricity supply contracts through the program include the City of Beacon and the Town of Clinton.

Electricity Supply. All participating communities relaunched the program in July 2023 with either 100% or 50% renewable electricity as their default offering. Check the rates page for your municipality’s default offer.

Community Solar. Prior to September 2021, community solar was available to communities on an opt-in basis.  

Eligible participants can benefit from both the electricity supply and community solar offerings.  

Hudson Valley Community Power was formed in partnership with Joule Community Power, a division of Joule Assets, Inc.
