Binghamton Community Power

Binghamton Community Power connects residents with resources to lower their energy bills and improve their environment at home. BCP also studies local energy usage through surveys, focus groups, and workshops.

Community Solar

One of Network for a Sustainable Tomorrow’s priorities is promoting community solar, which allows renters and homeowners of all income levels to benefit from solar development. We are currently collaborating with Nexamp to subscribe residents to a community solar project in Aurelius, NY which came online in Fall 2024.
